In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Kaie ties the Leggy Hare's Ear Skwala Stone! The Skwala Stonefly or Spring Stonefly is a great indication that warmer weather and runoff are coming soon. This hares ear variation is a snack for trout looking for a big easy meal after feeding primarily on midges and tiny bugs all winter. With a heavy tungsten bead and flashy orange ribbing, this fly quickly gets into the feeding zone and has just enough flash to stick out from the crowd in off-colored water. The Semperfli Dirty Bug Yarn body adds durability and saves time at the vise. Wing Case - Chose your favorite backing material or cut a strip of black plastic from the hook package
