It won’t be long before Salmon Flies and Golden Stones are making their annual emergence on the Deschutes River. In this video Barrett demonstrates how to tie an Upside Down Golden Stone. When some of your favorite aren’t getting the job done during the hatch try something with a completely different look.
This pattern also works on the Metolius, McKenzie, Middle Fork of the Willamette and many other waters where Golden Stones reside.
