Stimulator Fly Overview
When it comes to trout fishing flies, the Stimulator is a must-have in your tackle box. This fly has a unique design that allows it to imitate a variety of insects, making it highly effective at attracting trout. The Stimulator was first created in the 1980s by Randall Kaufmann, a renowned fly tyer and angler. He designed the fly to resemble a large, bushy stonefly, but its versatility also allows it to pass as a caddis or hopper. The fly is highly buoyant and creates a wake on the water's surface, making it visible and easy to spot for trout.
Stimulator Fly Imitation Design:
The Stimulator fly's design features a heavily hackled body and wings, which gives it the bushy look of a stonefly. The wings are made of deer hair, which makes the fly highly buoyant and helps it to sit on the water's surface. The body is often made from dubbing, which is wound around the hook shank to create a tapered shape. The fly's legs are made from rubber or silicone, and these can be trimmed to different lengths to imitate the legs of various insects. The Stimulator's colour combinations are diverse, and the fly can be tied in various sizes to match different insect sizes.
Stimulator Fly Best Uses
The Stimulator is a highly effective fly that can be used in a variety of situations. It is most commonly used during the summer months when caddis and stoneflies are abundant. This fly is perfect for fast-moving water, where the wake created by its bushy design can attract trout from a distance. It's also great for use in pocket water, where trout are often found in small pockets of water. That being said, the stimulator can be used in any body of water that's stocked with trout! The Stimulator is versatile enough to be used as an attractor fly or as a fly that matches the hatch. It can be fished alone or with a dropper, and it can be dead-drifted or skated across the water's surface to create an irresistible movement that will entice even the most finicky trout.
