Friday Night Flies – Royal Jester
Friday Night Flies – Royal Jester
It’s friday night flies and do i have special pattern for you. The winter stone is an iconic fly that any winter fly fisherman will know. Stoneflies in the Capniidae family only hatch in the winter, even on the coldest days. While these little stones can hatch on any river on any given day, even large hatches will not trigger frenzies among trout in cold water with already slowed metabolisms. Given that the stones are a natural winter food source that fish across the country universally recognize, however, trout may be quicker to eat them than a worm or egg.
