What were those 2 tiny smudges at the lower right of the frame? Enlarging the picture they look like micro fry
Been tying worms the last couple of days as well. These patterns are great and get a lot of attention from SRC but the hookup ratio on them the couple times I fished them last year was ehh with the hook in the back. Trying some with the hook upfront. Lou’s above has the hook in the middle. Between the three options, hopefully we find the sweet spot to tie these go forward!

Based off this pattern. WARNING: only tie these if you are ok with this happening in your tying room.

Don't know why but sure love tying this one. Beauly Snow Fly on a #3 McNeese Blue Herring Iron. The body is actually kingfisher blue but my lighting makes it look a weird purple color.
A pattern from my friend and mentor the late Robert Halliday. Is Tyed with a hot orange body makes a killer winter steelhead fly

Here’s the tying sequence from a fly I tied a while back
put a loop in the mono
mash barb/start thread; brush shank with Super Glue and tie in mono
clean, stack, measure (2.5x shank length) some moose body; trim butts/tie in, hook loop onto gallows
wrap tail up the mono
and back down
tie in foam strip (about 1/3 gap width; can't go too wide with 2mm stock or it won't lay properly on the core)
brush underbody with Super Glue; wrap up with touching turns
brush again with Super Glue and wrap back down with overlapping turns; tie off/trim
Regards,
Scott

Sorry I missed this. Both are bunny except there is polar chenille between the bunny on the bottom one.
Straight for the tail and cross cut for the body.

Craft fur gamechanger
For smallmouth and walleye. Two hooked fly cause walleyes tend to be nippers sometimes. I don't feel it would be needed for bass
Back hook: Short shanked size 6
Shanks: Two 10 mm followed by a 20 mm
Front hook: #1 B10S
Tail: Four grizzly hackle tips
On each shank: two wraps of short pearl Estatz type stuff, followed by reverse tied craft fur, tan over white
Hook to shank joint: Senyo wire
Front hook three wraps of the Estatz stuff followed by craft fur
Rattle: Small glass rattle tied on top of hook shank (superglue too)
Head: Senyo lazer dub tan over white. Head should be wide and heavy to create maximum action on a stop and go retrieve.
Eyes: 7 MM
I have fished this a bit and caught two walleyes so far. Contrary to most flies, on these the craft fur needs to be pretty heavy because it slims down tremendously in the water. With the gaps between sections it is quite translucent in the water. Wiggles like crazy.
