Friday Night Flies – Stimulator variant
Friday Night Flies – Stimulator variant
These flies were initially designed to specifically imitate adult stoneflies. The stimulator dry fly is a go to attractor fly particularly during big stone fly hatch. This fly sits up high even in fast water where it can be seen easily at distance and it floats like a cork. Although a stimulator looks difficult, they are relatively easy to tie. The Stimulator can also be tied with rubber legs, like Madam X. This is a great attractor pattern that will bring fish up to the top, unlike some patterns.
