Heavy Water Stonefly Nymph

If you spend anytime on the Rogue River, you will encounter all variations of Otis Bugs, or multicolored space aged chenille bodies, rubber legs and bead heads. Steelhead love them. Flies like this tend to find their way into other fisheries where similar “steelhead stonefly nymphs” are fished. But it’s always nice to give a nod back to the river where it started.
