Bill would have liked this one. He was always a fan of your wire/midge tubing body construction. Me too…. Very nice pattern.
Size 18?!
Crazy good…

I miss that dude. The Wild Bill Stone Nymph is used every Spring to his memory.
He had class through and through. Still, he laughed at my white trash humor. I wish I would have had the opportunity to row him down the Gunnison during Caddis season.

Using the Icebreakers and the Icebreaker Prince as attractors put a tremendous amount of Wild Bows and Browns in our nets.
I got away with using a larger than normal , size 18 midge larva.

Like yours, a Northern Wisconsin nymph pattern that has been very productive for me in the early Spring...
I don't use a hackle collar, so the fly sinks faster.
Gorgeous. I wish Bill would have shared that one with me as well!
