Kaufmann Stone-Beadhead
$1.09
- Description
- Stonefly nymphs live in clean moving water, and are an important feeding source for both trout and steelhead.
- All the attributes of the Beadhead Kaufmann Stone with the addition of rubber legs for action that fish just can't seem to refuse.
- Often times rubber legs make the difference between strikes and just flogging the water.
- Juvenile steelhead gorge themselves on stonefly nymphs and are therefore imprinted on the returning adult steelheads. A good indicator of steelhead holding areas will be the density of stonefly nymphs in the area.
- Therefore this pattern will work for steelhead as well as trout.
- Stonefly nymphs are very poor swimmers and are often knocked off rocks to float freely at the mercy of feeding fish.
- Use this pattern in faster moving water, year around, for fast vicious strikes.
- Stoneflies are only found in rivers.
