Description

The Stimulator Fly, or ‘The Stimmie” is one that just about every flyfisher will know and would have used. It was originally designed by Randall Kaufmann as a stonefly imitation, but has become the ‘go to’ searching pattern for a lot of flyfishers when fishing pocket water. It works when there are hoppers about, it works when there are caddis about, it works when there is nothing about! A

As an all-rounder to fish just as a dry, or to support a bead headed nymph, it is hard to go past a Stimulator as a starting point. Eugene ties his in a classic Kaufmann colour combination, with the yellow body and orange head. It’s been my favoured choice of Stimmie colours over the years too.

Supplied in lots of six (6) flies per hook size.

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers all the quality materials for this pattern.

Vagabond Flies are tied by Eugene O’Dell, who’s lived and fished all around Australia of the years, yet is now located in New South Wales. His patterns have been put to the test over the years and refined to work with the best materials available and to better perform in Australian conditions. This Stimulator Fly is tied on quality hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream season.

Sizes showing as “In Stock” represent flies that are ready to ship immediately. Any sizes showing as “Available to Backorder” will be tied after completed payment of order. This usually requires a 10-14 day turnaround depending on the current tying queue at Joe’s Flies. Your complete order will be shipped as one after all flies have been tied. We will contact you is further unforeseen delays arise with a fly order.
