I'd like to weight one of them down and drift it through the "Brown Hole" on Hazel Creek.

Them already got enough tungsten and lead in them to sink a fairly lively body. Such as you describe is exactly what is in store for those.

What hook did you tie them on?

What hook did you tie them on?

The Kevin's Stone is tied on a #10 Orvis curved Klinkhammer hook. The realistic one is tied on a super-long Lightning Strike bent shank stonefly hook, #10.

Look great!

 

[Anvil Head]

Almost eat them right out of dabox!

I like to add so much weight they splash when they hit. Its like the dinner bell to trout.

Great work!

I thought you knew you weren't supposed to spend more time tying a fly than it takes to lose it. Gil

Great job. What did you use for the head with eyes? Is that some sort of weight?

They're tungsten nymph heads you can buy. I think the brand is Nymph Head Evolution stonefly heads.
