Kaufmann Stone

The Kaufmann Stone is a lifelike and super heavy Stonefly Nymph Pattern. The Kaufmann Stone was developed by Randall Kaufmann and continues to be a standard in Stonefly Nymph Patterns. The Kaufmann Stone can be tied in many colors. The Golden (seen in this video), Black, Brown variations are the most popular and represent most of the natural stoneflies found in Western Rivers. The Kaufmann Stone is designed to be fished near the bottom, tumbling among the rocks and boulders in deep pools. The Kaufmann Stone is a must have for any trip in the West. Do not leave home with out them!
