Ok, I like the fly, but I have a concern. I know that some of the places that I have fished have very strict regs on soft plastics as well as on scented/flavored baits. Your stonefly has both of the characteristics. Berkley's powerbait line is all scent/flavor enhanced baits. Of course, if that were not a legal concern where you are then i think your stone would offer a SIGNIFICANT advantage over other imitations as fish tend to hold powerbait much much longer than they do non flavored baits.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a purist, nor do I aspire to become one. My above concern was only with the legal implications of using this material to tie flies with. I believe that ethical practice is up to each person to decide for themselves and should not be imposed by others. Hell, I even eat a trout now and then...
