The Stimulator Dry Fly is one of the most famous and effective attractor patterns in the world, renowned for its incredible versatility and high buoyancy. This fly doesn't just imitate one insect; its "buggy" profile suggests a wide variety of large aquatic and terrestrial insects, including adult stoneflies, grasshoppers, and large caddisflies. It is an absolute essential for any fly box.

Product Features
  • Versatile Attractor: The combination of an elk hair wing, bushy hackle, and durable body materials creates an irresistible, buggy silhouette that consistently draws aggressive strikes.
  • Extreme Buoyancy: The palmered hackle and hair wing ensure the Stimulator floats like a cork, making it perfect for the fastest, roughest water imaginable.
  • Durable Construction: Built tough to withstand multiple strikes from eager trout and other species.
  • Barbed Hook: Tied on a premium, sharp barbed hook for confident and secure hook-ups.
  • Optimal Sizing: Available in sizes #10, #12, #14, and #16, covering the prime range for imitating most large insects you'll encounter.

When to Use the Stimulator Dry Fly
The Stimulator excels in a wide range of situations, particularly when you need to cover water and find active fish or are fishing fast currents.
  • Searching Pattern: When there is no specific hatch, the Stimulator is the top choice for "prospecting" for fish, as they can't seem to resist its appearance.
  • Stonefly Hatches: This pattern is a primary imitation for large stoneflies like Salmonflies and Yellow Sallies, particularly in the Western U.S., during late spring and early summer hatches.
  • Terrestrial Season: Use it as a highly effective grasshopper or large moth imitation during the summer and fall months.
  • Dry-Dropper Rig: The Stimulator's superior buoyancy makes it an ideal top fly when fishing a weighted nymph dropper, acting as a highly visible indicator.
  • Fast Water & Pocket Water: Its robust design and high-floating properties shine in turbulent water where delicate flies struggle to stay afloat or be seen.
HANDLE WITH CARE: Hooks are extremely sharp. Please handle with care to avoid injury.

NOTE: As these flies are hand-tied, slight variations in color and size may occur between batches.
