Adding vibrant color to steelhead nymphs is critical. Here is a Rubber Leg Stonefly variation tied with a hot pink head. The Rubber Leg Stonefly was made famous long ago for trout fishing, but with the color scheme shown in this video it quickly becomes an appealing snack for steelhead. It is a quick and easy pattern that won't let you down.

Chris Cutler from http://www.livingflylegacy.com/ showed me this particular Stonefly a couple years ago. Check out his blog for exciting fishing stories and great photography.

Chuck's FlutterStone

Fly fishing guide Charles Robinton has put some serious trial and error into the design of his Chuck's FlutterStone. He thinks the result has the ideal amount of action, buggyness and overall attractiveness packed into the perfect stonefly profile.

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.
