Bill would have liked this one. He was always a fan of your wire/midge tubing body construction. Me too…. Very nice pattern. ;)

Size 18?! :shock: :o Crazy good…

I miss that dude. The Wild Bill Stone Nymph is used every Spring to his memory.

He had class through and through. Still, he laughed at my white trash humor. I wish I would have had the opportunity to row him down the Gunnison during Caddis season.

Using the Icebreakers and the Icebreaker Prince as attractors put a tremendous amount of Wild Bows and Browns in our nets.

I got away with using a larger than normal , size 18 midge larva.

I don't use a hackle collar, so the fly sinks faster.

Gorgeous. I wish Bill would have shared that one with me as well!
