Of the various stages of the stonefly’s life, the nymph is most important. By far, more stonefly, nymphs are eaten by trout than the full, grown adults. Most of all, in terms of importance, is the presentation of the stonefly nymph. Generally speaking, if you are fishing on or very near the bottom, you are fishing correctly. If not, it may not matter at all how close the imitation is, you are probably not going to do well at all.
