Fly Tying for Beginners - an AP Stonefly Nymph 

This all purpose stonefly nymph is loosely based on the Montana Stone, but uses a yarn for the body, thorax and wingcase instead of chenille. Still an easy tie and can be tied in a variety of colors for many different species.
Hook: #8-14 long shank
Thread: Black, brown or to match the body
Tail: Grizzly hackle fibers
Body: Yarn, any natural color
Thorax: Grizzly hackle, palmered
