The Big Hairy Stoneflies
- Stages: Nymphs
- Colors: Black, Brown, Gold, Variegated Colors Recommended (mix of black and cream etc)
- Sizes: #6 – #14
- [Wait] until run off or late May.
- Fish them deep early in March and April.
- as the days progress move closer and closer to the banks with less and less weight until you are right on or near the bank before run off.
- Little black stones are often mistaken for caddis but are small and black and are usually out when snow is still on the ground. Expect to imitate them with small black copper johns and a hemmingway caddis in black. Sizes #16 – #22 are typical.
