Another storm is pounding the Willamette Valley and it looks like our rivers are going to jack up again. It must be time to fill the fly boxes. The water will be up when the weather settles out, heavy nymphs will need to be part of the arsenal.
In this short video Barrett demonstrates how to tie a Golden Stone using new material. U.V Chewee Skin from Hareline Dubbin is an excellent material to use for shell-backs, wing cases and bodies. We see U.V Chewee Skin having some excellent applications for bonefish and other saltwater patterns. “U.V colors in the 360 nm wave length are highly visible to fish in low light conditions. UV-A penetrates water over 600 ft. Using a mixture of highly and non UV-A material will attract more fish.”
The Chewee Skin Golden Stone is the ideal weight. It’s cast-able, but heavy enough to carry down to the bottom with it a dropper nymph. Fish the two flies under a Thingamabobber about 6ft.–CD
