Standard - Stimulator
One of the most recognized attractor dry flies in the world, the Standard Stimulator is a versatile pattern capable of imitating everything from caddisflies to large stoneflies and salmonflies. Its buoyant elk hair wing and heavy hackle allow the fly to ride high on the water, even in fast or rough currents.
Smaller sizes are excellent for caddis imitations, while larger versions excel during stonefly and salmonfly activity. A dependable searching pattern, the Stimulator remains a favorite among anglers worldwide for rivers, freestone streams, and fast-moving trout water.
