Tyed with white silk, no doubt? (kidding)
In all seriousness, that is a great photo Chris. The ultimate case for minimalism...

Excellent!
I wouldn't go any sparser than that, though.

Chris,
Your Daiichi Bloodworm may be the best photo ever to appear on the FF. And it is a wingless wet.
Great string you started here.

I hate to say it. bit's not just bluegills. A few years back I took an 18" brown on the same "pattern". Red hooks really are a good imitation of a midge larva.
When I was a kid, the Delaware river used to have a good run of herring, at roughly the same time as the shad run. (For all I know, it still may.) The "bait" of choice for fishing the river at Trenton used to be a bare gold colored hook, hung under a bobber.
