The Stimulator is a very well know dry fly that represents all sorts of surface insects; both aquatic and non-aquatic insects. Although I used deer hair in this version many people like to you Elk hair for both the tail and the wing. You can vary the dubbing, the color of the dubbing as well as the colors of the hackle to create all sorts of Stimulators for many fishing conditions. As well, many people like to add some flash under the wing and rubber legs to get the fly noticed even more. Great for coldwater and warmwater species. -- Enjoy
