Garrison's Flexy Stone
Garrison’s Flexy Stone by Umpqua signature tyer Garrison Doctor is a stonefly nymph imitation that uses flexible body tubing to create distinct wing casings! Garrison says that, “while stonefly nymphs do crawl, once dislodged they tumble around in the current, so a dead drift low in the water column of a big western river is where this fly really shines!”
