The Yellow Stonefly Nymph is a high-visibility variant of a classic stonefly imitation, designed to stand out in a range of water conditions. Its segmented yellow body and soft-hackle collar create lifelike movement that mimics juvenile stoneflies drifting along the riverbed. This brighter coloration is especially effective in slightly stained water or when trout are keyed in on lighter-hued stonefly nymphs common in late spring and early summer.
Durable and versatile, this pattern excels in freestone rivers, pocket water, and riffle zones where stonefly larvae are abundant. Fish it near the bottom as part of a nymph rig or on its own as a searching pattern. Its natural profile and subtle motion make it a reliable producer when trout are feeding aggressively on larger subsurface insects.
Best for:
- Trout feeding on stonefly nymphs in freestones and pocket water
- Slightly stained water where added visibility helps
- Fishing deeper runs, riffles, and bottom-hugging seams
📌 Pro Tip: Add weight or pair with a tungsten anchor fly to keep this pattern tight to the riverbed—exactly where real stonefly larvae crawl and dislodge into the current.
