Head: Same as body. Small amount.
Notes:
(1) Very generic stonefly pattern, but still highly effective in faster or pocket water.
(2) Wrapping/Twisting the UV Krystal Flash with the Sulky is designed to dampen the brightness of the gold and still have color/UV presence on the pattern.
(3) Pick the body, thorax and head out. The buggier the better!
(4) Don't overlook tying a few in natural brown and tan. Mixing brown and tan (80% tan 20% brown as a starting point) is a killer golden stone color!

Notes:
(1) This is a variation of a pattern my buddy swears by. His pattern is tied with a tail and collar of pine squirrel and a gold bead vice glass. The body materials remains the same.
(2) Once the tail is tied in the gold ribbing and floss are tied in. The floss will act as your dubbing loop. Keep the fur/hair to a minimum. This allows the floss to bleed through when wet. The gold ribbing is twisted clockwise and wrapped forward after the body is complete.
(3) Other colors of floss that are effective: crimson #3, scarlet #4, fire orange #5, hot orange #6, purple #15.
