A heavy, high-confidence stonefly nymph built to get down fast. This Black Beadhead Stone Rubber Legs pairs a sleek metal bead with a chunky, leggy silhouette—rubber legs kick and pulse while the dark profile stands out in speed and stain for long, bottom-tracking drifts.

How to fish it
Dead-drift tight to the bottom under an indicator or on a tightline/Euro rig; adjust weight and depth until you tick. Run it as the point fly and trail a smaller mayfly or midge 12–18" behind. In heavy water, short-line through pocket edges and finish with a gentle lift.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing to prevent hook corrosion.
