Stonefly Dead Drift Heavyweight Hoodie

From $49.00

Stoneflies are the perfect trout meal. With a two year life cycle, both juveniles and adults are always available for trout snacking. And big trout are a little more willing to move for a bigger lunch (sometimes). Eat more stones. And get a dead drift.

This t-shirt features the Troutbitten Stonefly.
