Hans' Little Black Stonefly

Little Black Stoneflies are one of our best hatches in the late winter and early spring. This is a split winged pattern which gives the pattern a fluttering look. We generally fish this pattern in the black variety, but it can be adapted well to match other stonefly species as well.
