Friday Fly Day - Get Stimulated!

Stimulator fly patterns

Everyone loves a good stimi, whether a small #14 as a sighter on the Mataura or a larger #8 drifted through bouncy, backcountry pocketwater. It’s handy to carry different colours for different light conditions however it is the uber buggy prey image of a stimulator with rubber legs bouncing through the run that really gets fish going. Stimulators also make a great sighter pattern for your harder-to-see true green beetle or similar smaller film fly, pack a few of these on your next backcountry trip and prepare for fun

With its two tone black and white wing, this pattern is a high viz option when fishing varying light, or into glare.
