Matt,
Eric did a video with us for WW a bunch of years back.

This is one of my go to flies ANYWHERE I fish for Trout. I tie them very sparse with a carrot shap taper. Comparing the fly to stomach samples leads me to think it can represent Caddis Larva, Scuds, Cranefly Larva, and Cased Caddis. Works the whole year in NJ and PA!

Re: WW imitating a trout pellet......maybe, but I have caught plenty of wild fish the last few weeks using the fly, and the messier it gets, the better it fishes - after one fish it blows up and looks nothing like it does out of the vise. I'm thinking it looks like a scud often to them.

Walt's worm looks like it imitates a trout pellet to me. How many stocked fish do you catch using WW, as opposed to wild fish.

I used to tie a trout pellet fly and had success. WW reminds me of that.

I have the old Tiemco hook sharpener - about 20 years - that is about the same size as the ceramic, but one side has a pad of diamond dust on it. I'm sure the ceramic works well.

I know the question was not asked to me but I use a tiemco one and it works perfectly

Nice post.

What's your favorite hook sharpener??? I lost my favorite $4 stone and cant find them anywhere. I have 3 new ones and none of them do the job fast or clean.

would that be the barn dance? I got auctioned off too! I wonder who made more money? LOL Oh now I gave myself away.....

The cranefly larva is a good possibility.
Anon - You crack me up! Good luck tomorrow. And yes, it looks like a bug!
I actually just got back from fishing, and I used the WW part of the time with success....again. Crazzzzzy. More tomorrow, I'm off to a hoity-toity education fund raising event with the Mrs. I'm one of the auction items....can you believe anyone would want to spend a day fishing with me????? Good luck with that.,,at least it's a really good cause.

Looks like it represents some sort of a bug......

I either heard or read that Walt Young invented the pattern to imitate cranefly larva which I guess it does quite well.

AWESOME post! I am going to tie some tonight. They will look like the post fishing ones since they fished better as they got more seasoned. Thanks for the right up! I saved it so if anyone questions "What the hell is that going to catch" I can refer them to this.
