Little Yellow Stonefly

No comments yet

The massive stonefly hatches from the US, especially Montana, are well known – both by the flyfisher and the trout. And seeing the shucks from them it’s no wonder that they can bring even the biggest trout to the surface. Depending on where you live, stonefly imitations can be a must-to-have in the box or a nice-to-have. In Montana it is a must have, in Scandinavia, nice-to-have. The Yellow Sally is a beautiful, medium sized stonefly and like it’s contemporary mayfly a beautiful yellow color. In this video we have had the skilled flytyer and flyfisher Henry Ramsay in the studio to demonstrate his all-time favorite pattern the Little Yellow Stonefly (Isoperla Bilineata).

A money box
The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
