Back in 1984 when Walt Young created the Walts Worm as a crane fly imitation he soon learned it worked as an imitation for many insects, and when fished unweighted or dressed, it imitated various stages of insects. I have been using wrapped cdc at the head, but regardless, we all owe Walt Young a big thank you for his early discovery.
Very nice! For decades I have been guilty of using flies that meet that old cliche of ‘flies that catch fishermen, not necessarily fish’. Your vid a couple of years back re your default flies made me realise the ‘scruffier’ a fly the better the results. I now carry variations on 3 drys and 3 nymphs varying in sizes and bead weights and probably catch near double what I used to(don’t get me wrong there’s still a few blanks thrown in).
I fish with either a Greenwells glory, a Gold bead-head brown nymph, a scruffy white moth thing or a Royal Coachman. These are the flies I learnt to fish the small, fast borders rivers with growing up in Scotland. I’ve got hundreds of Wet flies and Nymphs that look beautiful in my hand-stitched, leather and sheep’s wools wet fly wallet, and hundreds more dries, all likewise in pristine un-fished condition. Been that way for most of my 50years fishing. I figure if the system works, don’t mess with it. Tight lines😀🍻

It looks great, simple, and effective. I will tie a few up for Thursday on the Waioeka River in NZ.

What an incredibly versatile variant. Great tip re the guard hairs too!
Love it! Gonna try them on an unnamed Central Oregon lake this week!
