I like that method of wrapping the wire body. Very neat. Well done!

yes VERY nice way to wrap the body, I'm going have to try one like that later tonite

Otter, that is spot on. I warned Hank the answer wouldn't be satisfactory. It's just too broad to describe in a few sentences. The point is to carry several types of versitile types of flies that cover several situations. It's fun to figure out, and if you're bald as I am, pulling your hair out streamside isn't an option.

I have a couple more to post. If someone gets tired of them...give me a gentle nudge.

Too broad for one book more like, there are so many variables. As to the bald bit, I try and hide myself under a cap, the shine and reflection would otherwise scare every trout for half a mile

Keep em coming, these type of flies in one style or another have their place, the important thing is not to give them overdue credit or reliance - and they can be fun to tie.

Being used to crappie fishing, the depth (level and water temp.), is a critical part of how you fill your cooler.
Once you find the right depth you can move laterally to find more of the school. Just an example of understanding

Tired of them??? Hardly!!! I find them inspiring, William. Keep em coming, please...
