Jo's flies - Day 5.
Brown Stone - This Josephine Sedlecky-Borsum tie is NOT brown NOR is it a stonefly pattern! It's actually tied to imitate the Michigan Hexagenia hatch and is a fine fly for browns. On special orders Jo would tie this pattern up to a 1 size hook. This is one of her VERY few patterns that did not use the Mustad 94840 hook.
Hook - Mustad 9672, 2-10
Thread - black
Tail - white calf tail tied long (white bucktail was used on size 1 & 2 hooks)
Wing - white calf tail, tied upright and divided (white bucktail was used on size 1 & 2 hooks)
Body - white chenille
Rib - 2 white hackle feathers palmered forward together
Hackle - white
