Madistone - Pink

As a self-proclaimed stonefly addict, I knew I needed to create a pattern that checked all the boxes for me, and this fly does just that.

The low-profile silhouette rides flush in the film, ideal for fooling even the most stubborn of trout. Floats well with a foam body, has a super fluttery CDC and poly wing combo, and a carefully selected hook that helps the fly land and ride correctly every time.

This fly has great movement on the water, and superior “twitch-ability”

Overall, this pattern has become one of my go-tos when stoneflies are on the menu.

If the pink scares you away, this fly has a great platform to make your own! Black/Purple, Golden Yellow/Olive, Brown/Orange, etc...the options are limitless!
