I saw a number of small, dark stoneflies when I was on the property Wednesday. I’ve seen them many times before, but have never tried to imitate them. I caught one and estimated it as a size 18-20. The wings were a dark, dun color and the abdomen was also dun-colored with a lighter segmentation. The fly on the following link should do a good job of imitating the natural.
