Uses

Use this fly when little yellow stonflies are hatching. You can tumble it near the bottom, but it is particularly useful when there is a hatch of those little yellow stones that emerge in the water (all other stoneflies crawl out of the water and emerge on land).

How to Fish

For a near-bottom presentation, use the indicator or tight line tactics. Near surface, use the shallow nymph presentation.
