Chrome Stones 2.0
You'll need a designated section for the Chrome Stone in your fly box within a few outings because of how it will CHANGE YOUR GAME! Not only are stoneflies known as BIG FISH FOOD, they are also known to be extremely effective cold weather patterns. This fly fits ever need and keeps it simple. With a slim buggy profile and enough weight to punch you into THE ZONE and keep you there, leave zero doubt on the water when this fly is at work. The lethal reputation and tactical advance of the jig style nymph conceived a perfect pattern called the Chrome Stone.
The jig style presentation has proven lethal worldwide from competition to recreation. The jig style hook repositions the weight by use of a slotted bead to force an upward presentation, allowing it to bounce along the bottom and off structure rather than being driven into it.
HOOK LESS ROCKS AND MORE FISH!
FLY STORY
Bead
Tungsten eliminates the need for any additional weight in most scenarios. Simpler rigs means less tangles and more fishing! Subtracting split shot and other terminal tackle from a rig can be the defining factor of success, especially in clear and pressured fisheries. Simple and clean.
Hook
Tied on stong chemically sharpened hooks for confidence when delivering a sharp hookset or fighting the fish of a lifetime in the butt section of the rod. The circle tip construction of the hook makes for holding onto fish during vibrant fights a lot easier.
Not to mention that barbless:
- Adds a further dimension of security. As a clumsy angler I know firsthand how convenient a smooth hook removal can feel, whether be a fish's lip or a finger.
- Winter Angling Tip: easy removal = dry hands
- Smooth hook penetration often resulting in more landed fish. Barbs often hinder full penetration frequently becoming an obstacle especially with long or late hooksets.
