Umpqua Feather Merchants Kaufmann’s Crystal Stimulator Rubber Legs Orange Flies

The Stimulator dry fly is a go-to dry fly, particularly when you’re dry fly fishing during a big stonefly hatch or salmonfly hatch. This dry fly sits up high in the water, even in faster water. Its “bugginess” also makes the Stimulator one of the very best dry flies to use as an attractor pattern “prospecting” for trout when there is no hatch. Great for dropping a nymph off the back. This modern take on a classic, includes added flash and rubber legs.
