What feature of a nymph fly do you find unnecessary?
So can you “burn” a “hot spot”?A "hot spot" is a place where a generic nymph with no legs, wing case, ribbing or a tail catches a lot of fish... 😉
Its a bight dot or bright thread collar, maybe a butt that is bright.Dear Sylvaneous,
I voted hot spot because I don't know what it is? I usually fish generic nymphs like GRHE's, Pheasant Tails, and Prince nymphs. I find size, proportions, and general appearance matter the most for me.

Tim Murphy 🙂
Is a "swinging hot spot" the same, except for wet flies?A "hot spot" is a place where a generic nymph with no legs, wing case, ribbing or a tail catches a lot of fish... 😉
I have to agree. They seem to have caught a lot of fly tyers though. I can see the usefulness of such a product on oversized stonefly patterns, but for typical, eastern nymph patterns.... .....nah.Legs...Specifically Lively Legz! When I see a fly with them it's like finger nails scratching a blackboard! 😎
