DHise 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2010 Hey ladies and gents. I finally put together a step by step for my waxworm imitation. My video camera is busted (which is probably a good thing 'cause Im horrible in front of the camera) so it is a series of stills. The music is called Carribean Voyage smile.gif Hise's Waxy is a deadly waxworm imitation, especially for trout and steelhead. Notice the legs on the critters underside? Pretty cool. I have heard conflicting reports about what a waxworm actually is but have come to the believe that it is the larvae of a certain moth, Pyralidae. In the wild, these creatures live as nest parasites in bee colonies where they eat the cocoons, pollen, shed skins of bees; but, they also chew through beeswax. Fish love 'em. Waxy is most effective when dead drifted under an indicator or high stick nymphed through the runs and pools. Hise's Waxy Step By Step Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
