With the introduction of Ultra Wire to the tying world, many standard patterns gained weight while keeping their figure...Brad Befus created the Wired Stonefly pattern to get down fast while keeping a realistic profile. Too often, Stonefly patterns become too fat and disproportionate by adding lead wire underbodies. This multi wired body offers some segmentation using two color wires wrapped together. Fish this pattern below an indicator with Fluorocarbon or in tandem with a Prince Nymph.
This is now my #1 fly. I often fish 2 or 3 flies at a time and this one seems to always catch the fish more often than any others. I bought it because it is highly recommended for WY and I have two trips coming up. I live in NC and have used them here and this fly works very well!

I have ordered several different types of flies from Discount Flies and have been very satisfied with the quality. The flies I have bought here are as good or better quality than many of the larger retailers and sold at a much better price! I tie my owns flies for the most part, but I use this site to supplement my personal collection.
