Some of you guys know how to tie this simple bug, but some don't. But, Here is a super simple pattern, that almost anyone can tie. It utilizes some pretty basic concepts like starting the thread, dubbing, and whip finishing. A great pattern to learn on. And, even better, if you're not a beginner, this is a super simple fly that is super effective! You definitely need a row or two devoted to Walt's worms. This fly was developed by Walt Young, in April of 1984. It was originally designed to be a Cranefly Larva, but some people debate what fish take it as. This fly takes only 3 materials, including the thread. This fly also won't cost $50 in materials to make, like some of the other flies that aren't even as effective!
Recipe
Hook-Heavy 1x Long Nymph Hook, Barbless
Thread-Tan thread, preferably heavy thread, to help build up the underbody
Weight-Lead wire, liberally wrapped on the hook
Body-Light Hare's Ear Dubbing, I mix a little pinch of UV fibers in
Here's the finished fly, but if you want the full step by step and report, click here. I don't want to hog up all the badnwidth, or whatever you tech-guys call it!
