How to Tie a Euro-Style Golden Stonefly Nymph
Producer: Tim Flagler
Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie a Euro Golden Stone pattern, using an Orvis Tactical Barbless Jig Hook in size 12 with a black 1/8” slotted tungsten bead. Because it’s tied on a jig hook with a slotted bead, this Euro Golden Stone will ride hook point up, making it less likely to get snagged and lost to the bottom.
