Bleached Stimulator

Bleached Stimulators – Olive, Peacock, Royal & Yellow

A highly visible variation of the classic attractor pattern, the Bleached Stimulator combines the proven fish-catching performance of the traditional Stimulator with lighter bleached hair wings for added visibility on the water. This versatile dry fly is effective across a wide range of trout waters and excels in fast currents, riffles, and rough water conditions.

Smaller sizes imitate caddisflies exceptionally well, while larger versions are ideal for stonefly and salmonfly fishing. The buoyant elk hair wing and heavy rooster hackle allow the fly to ride high and remain easy to track even in broken water.

A favorite searching pattern for trout anglers, the Bleached Stimulator is effective as both a hatch imitation and a general attractor dry fly throughout the season.
