Fly Tying

Recommended Posts

I have recently stumbled upon a nymph pattern that is called the squirminator. I would post the link but it seems like I am unable to do so. A quick google search can find it for you. The fly uses a tentacle off of those rubber toys that you can get at the dollar store, a jig hook, and egg yarn. People say that it is a good attractor, but looking at the video posted on the orvis website, I thought that it could be a nice uncased caddis imitation with a few tweaks. I used an egg hook, olive dubbing, a Hungarian partridge feather, and a green tentacle for the variation. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, tight lines.

I've used the wormy appendages off of Skoosh toys ... pretty much what you've got there. They make pretty good worms.

There is a fairly well known fly called the wee willie wiggler that uses that stuff. Here's a pic:
