WD40's

[gqualls]

I've just discovered these flies and was wondering if any of you have good success with them. From all appearances, they look like they would work well. Before tying some I'd like to hear from some of you. Thanks in advance.

On the Yakima River here in central Washington, they are one of the staple of "go to" nymph patterns. Easy to tie and effective. Jim Harper

Very easy fly to tie.
Posted links don't bother me.

The WD40 is a standard midge pattern for all the rivers and streams in Northern Utah. Many of my nicest trout have been on my modified WD40 pattern! It is definitely a staple where I come from. Now, here in NE i have yet to try it our on the warm water stuff.

As SKershaw mentioned, WD40's are killer in Utah. The famed (at least locally) Lower Provo is a tough trout fishery due to really high concentrations of food and the WD40 almost always produces. Can't believe no one has posted this one yet: try searching for it here. The first link that comes up is a FOTW WD40.

If you want to try another killer midge pattern, my friend in Utah, Lance Egan (stop by and chat with him at Cabela's in Lehi) came up with the rainbow warrior. This fly is where it's at on the Provo. I lived at the mouth of the canyon and was up there just about everyday for the past 4 years. The lower is more difficult than the middle. The Rainbow warrior, the WD40 and some of our local modified midges are the only thing that saves a depressing dry spell.

Have a great time with those midges and even better, the mutha-load of trout that you can catch on them!!!
