the "emerging nymph" cut
i have been asked a few times to try to make a 2 color stonefly, and the first 2 million times i tried went pretty poorly. i seem to have jumped a hurdle and have found a simple cut that makes the second color look like it is "emerging" from the husk of the first. this cut removes one set of legs so i have less monkeyin around to do , and the second color forces the leg sections to the outside, instead of just willy-nilly. went from about a 50% success rate for an hours work, to 100% success rate in about a half hours work. i made up 5 packs of each kind that i did today, and will put em on my site soon.

in my mind, this bait should work really well, as it would represent the most vulnerable time in that nymph's life. it -should- trigger some kind of instinctual fish bloodlust
