Jumbo John from the amazing John Barr, is my favourite stonefly imitation and steelhead fly pattern. Very similar to the Copper John, with a few minor changes. Main changes being the addition of rubber legs and the wire body is two toned. Barr’s Jumbo John is a heavy and life like stonefly and works well on great lakes steelhead and western trout!
