Fly Tying: The Stimulator

50% 1

The Stimulator is a pattern that has been around for years. It is also a very versatile pattern capable of imitating a stonefly or a caddis (if tied in a smaller version) while also being able to be used as the name implies as an attractor pattern. On top of being able to be used in a wide range of settings, it also will float just about any nymph making it a great "hopper dropper" option. Either way, if you're searching unfamiliar water, this is a great option to, if nothing else, locate fish while drifting your favorite nymph patterns.

Next to the Adams Dry fly (traditional), The Stimulator is my second favorite fly. I was first introduced to the fly while I was transitioning to helicopters back in 1982-83 by Randall Kaufmann himself. His fly shop was a real candy store back in the day. I live in CT, I am retired now. my favorite color combo is a yellow body and Olive thorax, Grizzly hackle, I think my local brook and brown trout take it for a hopper or a yellow sally. All I know is that it works well as a searching pattern. # 14 is the size I use the most on my home waters. It's a good one to have in your box.

This is a good one for sure George. I bet that shop was a sight to see! Do you find the #14 a good size to run a dropper off of as well?

"I have tied two, so that pretty much makes me a pro by todays standards" LMFAO Awesome!! But seriously, thanks for doing this tho, I really enjoy watching great tiers tie outside their comfort zone.

Haha, it seems everyone is an expert these days...Thanks, I really appreciate it!

@EnriqueSantiagofly 3 года назад

Good. What kind of fish can you catch with this?

@varnersstreamers 3 года назад

Thanks Enrique, this pattern will catch just about anything honestly. From trout to bass and bream, even panfish if you scale it down a bit. It's an all around great attraction pattern.
