Just finished rea

ding Woolly Wisdom by Gary Souchie. Excellent read for fly tiers and fishermen who use wet flies. I was astonished on how many patterns are available and how versatile this fly pattern is. This is a must have for your winter reading and library. I love these flies and is always my go to fly when nothing else is working, usually with great success. Tie some up or purchase some of these flies and watch the results

I'll put it on the christmass list Jon.
I have to agree, the WB , or some variation of, is THE go to fly for me ( and most folks I fish with). It's accounted for my largest Bass to date and likely "most fish" top honers as well. If I had to feed myself on one fly, it would be a #10 black WB without doubt.
BTW, been tying up a new variant that caught my eye in ( Spring 06) Eastern Fly Fishing magazine. It's called a Murry's road Kill Nymph. It's tied with the body of a large WB but adds a bunny tail, lead eyes and a few rubber legs tossed in. LOOKS incredable!

Here's a link to the pattern if anybody is interested.

I have a copy of that book & actually have a few flies listed in it. Gary did a great job on it. I was also amazed at the variety of flies that could be tied in that style, some I hadn't even considered until I read the book. Funny how something so simple can work so well!

Wee Hooker, that's a great looking fly! I like all kinds of bugger variations, and that one is a good one. I also like to tie it with a tail of fox fur or fox tail hair.

I tie another variation that has an Estaz body, rabbit strip tail & a rabbit fur collar, with either lead or bead chain eyes. Great Crappie or Perch fly tied on a #4 or 6 hook.
