    tail and legs = brown biots
    body = yellowish ice dubbing with a peacock shell and wire ribbing
    wing cases = turkey
    thorax = blackor peacock ice dubbing
    gold bead

    heres the link

    Normand,

    I did locate that link but where did you get the material lists? also I was looking for the step-by-step instruction.

    I think you just change links on me...lol

    The prior link shows a good picture but that is it!! http://www.flyfishingoutfitters.com/...r_stone_skwala

    i got the material list by looking at the fly (almost 30 years tying flies can do that )

    i changed the link because the umpqua had colors listed and you can see the materials better

    i couldnt find a step by step but it shouldnt be any harder the tying a stonefly nymph

    tying tip - stonefly bodies are 50% thorax & 50% body



    step by step

    put bead on hook

    weight hook if you want it heavier

    tie in tails

    tie in wire rib

    tie in peacock herls

    dub thread with ice dubbing and wrap forward to the 50% point of the flies body

    pull herls forward and tie down with thread

    rib body with wire

    trim turkey feather slip to wing case shape and tie in on top

    tie in legs on each side

    dub thorax

    repeat for the next 2 segments of the thorax

    To be fair, pretty sure Popperfly asked for the recipe, not a wild guess...

    A closer examination of the profile shots on Leland's site make me think that the abdomen of this fly is woven like a Bitch Creek Stonefly, although what material is used, I'm not quite sure. Underbody could be Krystal Chenille and the overbody could be a a dubbing brush of something like Arizona Synthetic Peacock, but do not know for sure. Tail, and legs are goose biots, wingcase is turkey, and thorax is Ice Dubbing as Normand stated, but this is an interesting enough pattern that I hope some can chime in with the real recipe.

    What I like about this board is how we treat each other in such a civil manner. Right?

    absolutely! one good turn deserves another.

    popperfly,

    heres the solution. buy 3 flies. 1 to fish and eventually lose, 1 to look at in your fly box and 1 to de-construct (reverse engineer)
