Description
The Rogue Foam Stone, designed by Jack Schlotter of Medford, Oregon, is a highly effective dry fly pattern crafted to imitate adult stoneflies, particularly the Giant Salmonfly (Pteronarcys californica) and Golden Stonefly species. Its segmented foam body and deer or elk hair wing provide exceptional buoyancy, making it ideal for fishing in fast, turbulent waters where stoneflies are prevalent.
Pro Tip
Dry-Dropper Setup: Utilize the Rogue Foam Stone as the dry fly in a dry-dropper rig. Its buoyancy allows it to support heavier nymphs beneath, effectively targeting trout feeding at various depths
