That is a great looking stone Ben!! I always wondered what I could do with my quail feathers, I guess I now have one pattern I can tie. I would think you could do a soft hackle of some kind. Great looking bug.
Thanks Paul. I’ve also started tying some of my pheasant tails with the smaller Gambel’s feathers tied in as soft hackles. It looks pretty sweet.

Hmmmm….I’ll have to give that a try. Guess I will have to wait until next quail season though. Great idea!
Nice tie!
Thanks FF.
Great Looking!! I’ve been looking for this.
Thanks Howard. I appreciate the kind words on my tying.
Ben
Appreciate you sharing your work.
I just tied up a trial run of 6 in size 6.
Look great in the light.
Do you ever tie them in smaller sizes like 10s?
Thanks for the kind words Stan. Let me know how they fish for you.
Ben
You ever tie them up in smallers sizes?
Stan, I’ll tie them don to a size 12 on a 1x or 2x long hook. If I’m tying smaller stones I like to use this pattern – http://azwanderings.com/fly-tying-little-stonefly-pattern/
