The stonefly pattern is primarily useful for catching trout, especially in fast-moving, clear streams. It works best during the spring and early summer when stoneflies are hatching, though it can be effective year-round in some regions. Stoneflies are common in cold-water habitats, making this pattern ideal for fishing in mountainous areas or cold, northern rivers. The pattern imitates the nymph stage of stoneflies, which have a distinctive segmented body and are a crucial part of a trout's diet
