Blue Ribbon Flies Sunken Stone

 



Blue Ribbon Flies Sunken Stone

Hook -                 Mustad 9674 #6 or similar hook (#6 3665),

Thread -              Uni 6/0 fire orange,

Tail -                   Black closed cell foam

Body -                 Whiting Farms golden Olive Saddle or similar

Body -                 Alternating sections (5 or 6)of well-marked mule deer and Hareline Dubbing orange rabbit (HD15).

 

Note:                  Start with orange dubbing the short section of deer hair. This fly can be fished dry or wet. When fished wet fish it dead drift until end of drift and then let it swing and hang on for voracious hits. Use 3x tippet or you will lose a lot of flies. If fishing dry, cast under trees and when it lands lift the rod tip up and move the fly 3-4 inches and you will induce a lot more strikes!
