Small stone flies have low silhouettes and can be very difficult for the angler to see. They are often the culprits when trout are rising splashily during mid-day, but there appears to be nothing on the water. These insects can also be maddeningly hard to represent with a fly. A fly with a high silhouette gets nothing but refusals much of the time.

That is why the Flint's Stones Series evolved into the three patterns offered below. They are the most recent attempt in replicating these small, elusive, delicate insects in their adult form. They represent many years of research and offer the closest representation of the most common local species. They are designed to be fished in slick water conditions where a Stimulator or similar bushy fly just won't get the job done.  When fishing rougher water conditions, try the Lemon Drop Sally & Nasty Sally patterns.
