55 on the fly

Tying some of my Korn's Holiday Stone Fly Nymph's today... When I designed this fly for Parks Fly Shop I wanted to produce a more realistic stone fly nymph pattern that has lots of flash.  It was designed for visibility in high muddy water conditions sometimes found in the early fishing season on the Yellowstone River.   Materials List: Hook:  Eagle Claw Aberdeen #6   Bead: 4 mm black bead  Thread: Serafil 120 dark olive brown  Tail/Legs: black biots or natural split by ball of dubbing  Rib: nylon quilting clear thread Wingcase/shellback: pearl Easter basket mylar folded twice  Abdomen: black yarn, 3 ply.  Thorax: black dubbing  Collar: loose black dubbing  #6 Korn's Holiday Stone Fly Nymph
