Stoneflies are certainly one group of insects you
should imitate when you are fly fishing the
streams of Great Smoky Mountains National
Park. Stoneflies are present in all the streams
and in very abundant quantities. Selecting a fly to
imitate them is a much simpler process that
selecting flies to imitate mayflies or caddisflies.
They have only two stages of life anglers are
interested in - the nymph and the adult.
By far the most important stage to imitate is the
nymph. That is because the nymphs crawl out of
the water to hatch. The only time the adults are
going to be on the water is when the female
deposits here eggs or when the male falls into
the water after completing his function in life.
Often, depending on the species, the egg laying
occurs during the night.
