The Beadhead Flashback Stonefly Nymph - Black is a durable, high-contrast imitation designed to mimic larger stonefly nymphs drifting along the riverbed. The black body provides silhouette and visibility in fast or slightly stained water, while the flashback adds subtle light reflection—imitating the natural sheen seen on real stonefly nymphs as they move or molt. The beadhead ensures this pattern sinks quickly into the feeding zone, making it a powerful choice when trout are holding deep or during pre-hatch activity.
Built with sturdy materials, a lifelike segmented profile, and soft hackle legs that pulse in the current, this pattern excels in freestones, pocket water, and deeper runs where stonefly nymphs thrive. It’s especially effective during late winter, spring, and early summer when natural stoneflies become active and vulnerable to drifting.
Best for:
- Fast or stained water where added contrast triggers strikes
- Trout feeding on large stonefly nymphs along the bottom
- Deep runs, riffles, pocket water, and pre-hatch drifts
📌 Pro Tip: Dead drift the fly close to the riverbed and add occasional subtle twitches—this mimics a dislodged stonefly nymph attempting to regain footing, a movement trout can’t resist.
