Stonefly patterns are historically HEAVY, known as sparkplugs and cannon balls by many. Even The small stonefly patterns do best on the bottom, the Iron Sally is the perfect little yellow sally pattern. Fish in tandem with a Copper J or dead drifted alone with a Fluorocarbon Leader.
Has produced with great results on a tailwater and freestone river for me in size #16. My go-to sally nymph imitation when I'm finding a lot of nymphs in the water or seeing them flying around the river.
Nice

Very well tied, great proportions, very consistent from fly to fly. Couldn't be happier!
