What do you think

For some reason this one has always given me a problem tying, but I think I got it. Let me know what you think.

Ok, sorry getting old and that ws a long time ago. Kaufman stone pattern if Im correct?

[RippinLipp]

Correct.
I tie other stones but this one has always given me a problem.
I tie them on a # 6 -10 hook with dark brown possum. I like the possum dubbing for this pattern. I think its easier to pic out.

And yes it was a long time ago, about 5 years. you guys gave me some materials, hooks and a book of patterns. you showed me how to tie a woolly bugger, and some Estes Eggs. And I've been tying since.

Thanks

I would use maybe copper wire for the ribbing. Take that baby to the river and FISH IT!!!.:hide::whistle:

[flyfish]

Ditto on the copper wire:)

Is this a Kaufman Stonefly? Looks very familiar.....

Very nice though..... these take some time.

Just answered my own question with reading the other posts here. Got ahead of myself.

I've tied this with a multicolor/black dubbing before.... can't tell if that is what you used..... but these work REALLY well.
