I just tied my first ever fly for the Yuba this saturday. I tied up some grass hoppers. Wasn't sure how long to make them so I went with 1.5" on a size 10 hook. After returning from the Yuba I noticed that the stone flies might be the same size in length of my hooper and I figure the hopper needs to be shorter. Does anyone have a average length of a hopper pattern and stone fly? I also noticed that there were stonefly shucks that were about a size 6 to a 4 on some of the rocks of the Yuba. Are these golden stones?
