Friday Night Flies – DOUBLE BEAD GOLDEN STONEFLY
Friday Night Flies – DOUBLE BEAD GOLDEN STONEFLY
With spring fast approaching the Golden Stones are thriving in both unregulated freestone streams and in tail waters below deep bottom-release dams. The sizes of these insects range from 6 mm to 50 mm in length (excluding antennae and tail filaments). Stoneflies are usually identifiable by their two tail filaments. Nymphs are large and live in riffles and rocky, boulder areas with moderate to fast current. They often lose their grip and are taken all year by trout.
