The Umpqua Fly Restless Stone is a heavy stonefly nymph designed for high and coloured water when trout and grayling hug the bottom. Its weighted profile helps it sink fast on its own and also works well as an anchor fly to pull a multi‑fly rig into the feeding zone.
A mottled chenille body provides a natural stonefly silhouette, while the extra‑lively flex‑floss legs create movement even in slow currents. Fish it dead‑drift under an indicator, on a French/Euro nymphing leader or as the point fly in a tandem nymph setup when you need to reach depth quickly.
Available in size 10 and in two proven colours, this pattern is a solid choice for spring runoff, deeper pools and fast pocket water where fish expect big stoneflies tumbling along the riverbed.
