The Beadhead Micro Golden Stone is a slim, realistic imitation of small golden stonefly nymphs—an essential food source for trout in freestones, tailwaters, and mountain streams. Its compact golden-yellow body closely mimics juvenile stoneflies, while the beadhead provides the weight needed to reach the feeding lane quickly. This micro version offers a more subtle profile than traditional stonefly nymphs, making it especially effective in clear or lightly stained water where trout scrutinize their food more carefully.
With a segmented body, soft-hackle legs, and a natural golden tone, this fly has excellent movement and triggers confident strikes from fish holding near the bottom. Whether fished as a lead nymph or as part of a two-fly setup, the Beadhead Micro Golden Stone excels during early summer hatches and anytime trout are keyed in on smaller stonefly nymphs.
Best for:
- Trout feeding on small golden stonefly nymphs
- Clear or lightly stained water requiring subtle, natural imitations
- Nymphing deep runs, riffles, and pocket water
📌 Pro Tip: Fish this fly as a dropper behind a larger stonefly or attractor nymph. The micro profile rides naturally in the drift and often outperforms larger imitations when trout are selective.
