Rainbows and Stoneflys in the Round

If you have never tied or fished the Richard Strolis pattern, Stonefly in the Round, you should. The fly is a very productive pattern this time of year. Earlier this year I tied my version of his patten and posted it.

Today I am sharing it again, as it is worth another look.
