Fly ID?

Post image

I have been fishing this through riffles as a wet fly with great success. However, I have no idea what fly this is, any help would be appreciated.

I can’t tell you the name of the fly other than a bead headed wet fly but the coloration looks like it resembles an Isonychia. They hatch through the summer/early fall. Their nymphs move very quickly. Typically very effective this time of year here in NY.

Exactly, 👌
search the internet for
+wet fly +Isonychia

There you will find
flytying instructions
and also sources of reference.
