How to tie Garrison's Flexy Stone | AvidMax Fly Tying Tuesday Tutorials

Thank you for joining us for this week's Tying Tuesday! Today we have Garrison Doctor from Rep Your Water in the studio tying up this beast of a stonefly pattern, called the Flexy Stone. This thing is a beast and although it looks intimidating, it's actually a lot of fun to tie up. The body tubing gives this stonefly imitation a great segmented abdomen/wing case profile. The dubbing blend used on all the segments is super buggy and really enhances the look of this fly! The three brass beads helps get it down, but it's not too heavy at the same time. Let us know in the comments what modification(s) you might make, and how well it fishes for you!

So happy to see an instruction video for this fly! What weight bead?

[@AvidMax]

I'm working on that for you! I should have something soon

[@LanceDean1981]

Not sure if this answers your question but in an email I received from Garrison, he told me that he uses 3.3mm Umpqua Radiant Brass Beads.

Such an interesting fly

[@loosieclocker]

Been waiting for this one

[@andrzejsliwa6678]

small tip to make tying this easier: if you burn the ends of the tubing prior to sliding it on it keeps the ends from fraying.

How about showing what’s needed to tie Garrisons Flexy Stone

[@AvidMax]

Good afternoon, there is a recipe listing in the details section as well as on our blog. Is there something I can help you locate?

[@LanceDean1981]

I emailed Garrison about some details on his cool pattern and he responded back. As far as tubing goes, he uses 1/8" tubing and he said he uses 3.3mm Umpqua Radiant Beads.

[@KevinDavis-rx6oj]

What size of tubing did you use?

[@AvidMax]

It looks like the 1/4 inch tubing, but I will reach out and see.
