In preparation for a trip to the Lower Stan, I've been tying a few flies. Some of those are pictured below. As always, click on the picture for a larger version.
This one is tied on a size 12 hook and has a red guinea feather for a tail, a partridge hackle up front and a feather palmered up the shank. I've used a similar fly on this river before with great success. This relatively light fly combined with the palmered hackle will keep him right under the surface.
This is a size 14 with partridge hackle up front and a dubbed body with wire ribbing giving it some weight. This basic soft hackle always gets attention on just about every river. The Lower Stan is no exception. This guy will sink at a good rate and will be fished a few feet down.
Another red size 10 fly. This is practically the same as the first except with a red guinea hackle up front.
Watch for a report in the coming days to see how they worked out.
