Tying a Stimulator
In this video Michael Gula demonstrates how to tie a stimulator. The “stimi” is a go to pattern under a variety of situations. It can be fished in size 14-18 as a caddis and/or as like a Yellow Sally. In the larger sizes it can be a bigger golden stone or salmon fly (color to match).
