The Southfork Stone is a big, buoyant dry fly designed to imitate adult salmonflies during one of the most iconic hatches in the West. With its oversized foam body, fluttering rubber legs, and high-floating design, this pattern creates a realistic silhouette and just the right amount of surface disturbance to entice large trout to rise. Named after the legendary South Fork of the Snake River, where explosive topwater eats are the norm during the hatch, this fly is built for fast water, heavy current, and aggressive fish.
The Southfork Stone shines during the peak of the salmonfly hatch in late spring and early summer, especially when fished tight to rocky banks, under overhanging brush, or along grassy edges. Its durable construction holds up to repeated strikes and turbulent water, while its size and visibility make it easy to track in big river conditions.
Best for:
- Salmonfly hatches on Western rivers
- Fast water, banks, and riffle seams
- Prospecting for big trout with dry flies
📌 Pro Tip: Fish the Southfork Stone early in the hatch window, when trout are first turning to adults on the surface—it’s often the biggest fly in your box, and sometimes that’s exactly what gets crushed.
