Greeting

That's a mighty high bar you've set, Ruard. I have no doubt that I'll be able to limbo under it

Thank you I am anxious to see your Wiggle.

Greeting

I believe that would make a fine damsel pattern Ruard.

Here's my Wiggle. Taking a chance at loosing what little tying credibility I may have here. I have actually fished and caught fish with this wiggle.

Fore hook: any dry with bend cut off
Body: synthetic dry dubbing
Wing: Coastal deer hair
Rear hook: Tiemco 111 #16
Body: orange silk thread
Hackle: medium partridge
Note: hooks are attached with kevlar thread.

Old Hat,

That's a bit like one I've fished, except I left the hook on the caddis and instead of kevlar, the hooks were attached with about 18" of 5x.

But you're right, it works real well!

Carl,
I don't consider that a Wingless Wet Wiggle. It's really a tandem.

Mark

True, not wingless, but not a tandem either, only one hook. It is the wingless that wiggles. Do I get 1/2 a point?

Ruard,

Your skills with the camera are on par with your tying!

Ruard ~ Here's a "Wiggle" that's been in my Isonychia box for a few years (note rust on hook point); I don't even remember the recipe ...

The bar has definitely been raised around here lately. I think some of the best and most innovative tyers reside here, on this forum! Good job!!!!
