Stoneflies

Our Stoneflies collection brings together both Stonefly dry flies and nymphs for imitating one of the trout’s most important food sources. Stoneflies are large, protein-rich insects found in fast, clean rivers, and trout feed aggressively on both their nymphal and adult stages. This collection includes high-floating stonefly dries for explosive surface takes and realistic nymphs for year-round subsurface success. Whether matching Salmonflies, Golden Stones, Yellow Sallies, Skwalas or other species, these patterns offer lifelike profiles, natural colors, and dependable performance across a wide range of river conditions.

Complete Stonefly Patterns for Rivers and Fast Water

Stoneflies are a cornerstone of trout diets in many Western rivers, and this collection brings together the most productive patterns for imitating both adults and nymphs. Stoneflies thrive in clean, oxygen-rich water, and trout feed heavily on their slow-moving nymphs throughout the year. When adults emerge, their large size and clumsy flight create some of the most exciting dry fly fishing of the season.

High-Floating Stonefly Dry Flies

Stonefly dry flies are designed to ride high and remain visible in fast currents. These patterns imitate adult Salmonflies, Golden Stones, Skwalas, Yellow Sallies, and other species that trigger aggressive surface strikes. Explore our dedicated Stonefly Dry Flies collection for buoyant, durable patterns perfect for pocket water, riffles, and heavy river flows.

Realistic Stonefly Nymphs

Stonefly nymphs are essential for year-round subsurface fishing. Their slow, crawling movement and segmented bodies make them easy targets for trout, especially in deeper runs and along rocky river bottoms. Our Stonefly Nymphs collection includes lifelike imitations that excel when utilizing dead-drift nymphing techniques.

Match Every Stonefly Species

With patterns covering all major stonefly species and life stages, this Stoneflies collection equips anglers for any river condition. Whether fishing pre-hatch nymphs, mid-season adults, or late-summer Sallies, these flies deliver consistent results and help you take full advantage of one of the most important insect groups in trout fishing.
