Description
Clark's Stone, created by Lee Clark in 1983, introduced a unique wing-style body dressing that revolutionized traditional stonefly patterns. The design features yarn tied atop the hook shank in a downwing fashion, which also forms the body of the fly. This innovative approach provides a realistic silhouette, excellent buoyancy, and durability, making it a highly effective pattern for imitating adult stoneflies. Over the decades, Clark's Stone has remained a trusted choice for anglers targeting trout during prolific stonefly hatches.
Pro Tip
Dead Drift with Confidence: Focus on achieving a perfect dead drift in fast-moving water. The unique design of Clark's Stone ensures it rides high and maintains a natural profile, enticing trout in turbulent currents.
