Little Brown Stone

Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Tiemco 101 Size 14-18
Thread: Black
Body: Butt end Red Brown CDC, rest Dark Brown CDC
Wing: Gray Fluoro Fibre
Hackle: Dark Gray Grizzly or Dark Dun trimmed flat on the bottom


Note: I tie this pattern to imitate the Little Brown Stone Fly we have here in the East. The CDC feather is tied in by the tip and wrapped like a CDC&Elk. I trim the flaring barbules. Start with the Red Brown CDC make a couple of wraps (can't be sure if this is an egg sac) trim, then tie in Dark Brown CDC and wrap forward.
