I never tie unweighted nymphs, and that absence in my boxes has been bothering me.

Unweighted variation on a Guide's Choice Hare's Ear. I think it's a #12 (I'm reclaiming some old scud/egg hooks from old eggs I am no longer happy with, so not completely sure).

Royal Wullf on a sz 12 tmc100.

Think i took too many hackle wraps behind the wing. Also dont have moose hair yet for the tail, deer hair will hafta do for now. Tricky keeping it from flaring out.

It might not look like the "perfectly" tied examples in the magazines, but I swear flies that look like this catch 5x more fish. Great tie!

Try using the biggest caddis you have in your box... and make it a crash landing.
