Lawson's Henry's Fork Foam Golden Stone SBS

[ScottP]

Bit of a change from the traditional HF Stone (the one pictured below is actually a Gerath Golden Stone, which is basically the same fly without a tail)





New and improved version is pretty much a Chubby with a modified front end. Colors are unlike any goldens I've run across but Mr. Lawson knows a great deal more than I do.




hook - Mustad 9672 #8
thread - UTC 140 burnt orange
egg sac - Krystal Flash black
underbody - Spectrablend antron ginger
body - 2mm foam cinnamon
wing - EP Fibers golden olive
legs - Sili Legs barred pumpkin
cowling - 1mm foam brown (with help)


Part 1

mash barb, wrap front of shank with thread




tie in 1mm foam (gap width); didn't have brown, but Sharpie saved the day




tie in KF, fold/wrap back to point above barb






dub thread, dub body; finish where you started






taper 2mm foam (gap width); tie in

Part 2


tie in wing; fold back




tie in rear legs; dub tie in




add a little more dubbing and move to the front




tie down 2mm foam




repeat wing sequence






trim 2mm foam even with eye; fold 1mm foam over and tie down






add front legs




dub tie-in, half hitch x 2, SHHAN; trim legs, wing, sac

Looks like a variation of the Chubby Chernobyl. Maybe a Chubby Lawson. But I'm not sure if Mike would appreciate the name.

Noted that in the intro

Pretty sure we know the answer to that
