New ties

Saw those Stone flies getting sipped off the top off the water and thought I would try a pattern for that hatch..
In my Hatches book there was a pattern for a "Sofa Pillow"..
Had most of the stuff with a little substitution and tied up half a dozen..
 

 
 
Some ostrich herl nymphs to play with...

    Sofa Pillows and Stimulators are fairly similar. I tie one with a gray deer hair wing & tail and a peacock herl body w/ grizzly hackle to imitate the smaller gray-black stones we get around here.

    Stimmies are one of the best dry flies made, IMO.  especially in fast water.
