Mercer's Flush Floater Foam Stone

Tied by our own, Mike Mercer. These adult stoneflies can be fished as either a searching pattern trying to locate feeding trout, best fished in riffles or areas just below riffles, or as a great imitation when matching the hatch. This fly works great either skated or drifted, and when drifted can be used as both the hatch and an indicator, with a nymph or emerger fished beneath.
