About the Stonefly Nymph wire body

I absolutely love this stonefly pattern. To fish and to twist up. It’s built to be heavy and get down to where the fish lurk in those deep holes. This isn’t a new pattern, but I love playing with lots of different colors, such as olive, brown, black, and yellow/gold. I’ll tie these as big as an 8 and as small as a 16.
