Quill Body Micro Stone as tied by Skylar Hardman
2 types of Loon resin are used to create this beautiful and effective fly.
“This is a great little stone pattern with just enough flash to be enticing but plenty of natural appeal as well. I especially like to fish this in the early spring when the water is a little discolored but its a great pattern year round.”
Here is what you will need to tie this fly:
- Hook: Natural Bend Nymph Hook (I used a 14 for this)
- Bead: 2.5mm (I used a coffee colored tungsten bead)
- thread: Any that will lay flat (I recomend 70 Denier Danville)
- Tail/Legs: Coq de Leon dyed brown
- Body: Peacock Quill (I used peach color)
- thorax: Hend’s cactus micro chenille
- Wing case: Brown Holo tinsel/Black scud back
- Resin on Quill: Loon UV Resin Flow
- Resin on wing case: Loon UV Resin Thick
