The Golden Stone is a classic adult stonefly imitation designed to match one of the most important big-bug hatches of the summer. With its natural golden-yellow body, realistic wing profile, and lively rubber legs, this pattern captures the size, shape, and movement of adult golden stoneflies as they skitter across the surface to lay eggs. Its buoyant construction keeps it riding high in riffles, pockets, and fast seams—exactly where trout expect to find these large, protein-rich insects.
This fly excels during peak golden stonefly activity but also works exceptionally well as an all-purpose attractor dry. Whether fished tight to cutbanks, drifted along grassy edges, or used as the lead fly in a hopper-dropper rig, the Golden Stone produces confident surface takes from opportunistic trout throughout the summer months.
Best for:
- Summer golden stonefly hatches
- Prospecting riffles, pocket water, and bankside drifts
- Hopper-dropper rigs needing a natural, high-floating dry
📌 Pro Tip: Cast close to structure—adult golden stones often flutter near logs, boulders, and overhanging brush, where trout lie in ambush during feeding windows.
