Stoneflies are often glamorized by fly anglers. Most of the feeding during such a hatch occurs as the nymphs migrate to the banks to emerge rather than on the surface of the water as adults. Additionally, stoneflies exist as nymphs for 2-4 years making them a year-round forage for trout. The Landing Strip Nymph is an excellent stonefly nymph and a staple for the Blue Line crew when nymphing stonefly water. Don&&';;t mistake us, throwing giant dry flies for feisty browns out west is one of our favorite activities, but having a Landing Strip Nymph dropped under said dry fly is never a bad move. Carp wreck this nymph, specifically in sight fishing situations and it&';s one of our best bream flies period. Multi-use flies are never in short supply, and the Landing Strip Nymph is a fly that should follow you on all your fishing trips. Use with any fly rod.
