Dear LeTort Run,

The reason you don't see fish eating the Early Black stoneflies is because they don't eat the adults.

Try fishing a soft hackle wetfly made of peacock herl with a black hackle in a size 18. Fish the fly quartering downstream and let it swing in front of likely fish lies. Give it an occasional twitch and I'll bet you can catch some.

Stay away from the LeTort, it was way over-rated even when it was good, now it's just plain over-rated.

Regards,
Tim Murphy
