Ran across this stonefly 2 winters ago, 2/16/19, on the Tucannon River across from Blue Lake. Should have gotten more pictures but I believe it to be a little brown stonefly. The day was somewhat mild and overcast for the most part.
The following winter I used this rig to take several rainbows from different spots of the same characteristics. All below a straight gravel riffle. Most of the day the dropper was a smaller similar black stone. The rainbows all took the Pat's, the whitefish all on that short (had to keep it down but lifelike) black dropper fly.
