that little bit extra. Stoneflies can be tied in many ways and by adding these wing buds to your pattern will not only save you
time, but make a more effective fishing pattern. VN-Stonefly Wing Buds are easy to use, simply cut around a wing bud, then place it in-between a VN-Stonefly Wing Burner Tool. ( out soon ) Take a flame or a quarterizer and burn off the excess outside the
burner. and they are ready to use. Although VN-Stonefly Wing Buds are made using a tough un-rippable water proof polymer, they can be coloured to Match the Hatch with permanent marker pens like Edding & Kurecolour. Sealing the wing bud with a matt varnish or glue will help the general aesthetics.
