Did anybody suggest the Whitlock Fox. Sq, nymph?

If not, I will.

Like the hare's ear and the simple muskrat glob nymph and several other fur-based nymphs, the Whitlock nymph is one of those flies that the rattier it looks, the better it works. That's a big plus in my view, because it means I can tie them somewhat sloppily and make believe that I intended to do so...

It's good with or without a bead (but not silver, which is useless) and with or without a wing case. Sizes 6-18.

I don't do photos online, but here is a pattern: http://www.flymartonline.com/modules.php?file=article&name=News&sid=295

I always carry at least 50 of them..

Honey Bug is an awesome fly. The work great as sucker spawn. When I worked in the Lehigh Valley, I would fish the little lehigh at lunch. In early spring it wasn't uncommon to catch 5 or so fish in an hours lunch. Something about the cotton chenille makes the fly look really fleshy.

Definitely go with the walts worm.

Another vote for the Walt's Worm.
