The basic pattern is great stonefly nymph or general nymph that will catch anything.  Stonefly nymphs are pretty big in nature, don't be afraid to try a size 4 or 6.  Downsize for bluegill and stocker trout.  Can be tied in any color combo of legs and chenille you can think of.



October's fly of the month winner is Denise Miller with a textbook Gridle Bug.
