Surface Stonefly

Hello All:

This is my first post, as I've just joined the forum today.

In late June of this year I fished the Matapedia River in Quebec for Atlantic salmon. On our final day there it (mercifully) rained and the salmon became quite active. We caught two 17 pounders and a 22 pounder, the latter on a surface stone fly of the general type originated by Lee Wulff in the 50s. (But the body of the one the guide tied on wasn't plastic, as Wulff's used to be. It was floss.) It's impossible to find a recipe for typing contemporary Surface Stone Flies, as popular as they are on the Gaspe Peninsula in Canada. Does anyone have a link they could send me? I did a search here and came up with nothing.

Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
