Hook: Mustad dry or wet fly size #12-#18

A few years ago I posted that I was in search of a fly to ty that would replicate a real wax worm or meal worm. Fly Goddess pointed me to a latex imitation that I have found to be very effective on trout and pan-fish. I hope Fly Goddess doesn't mind me mentioning her and then showing my awful fly tying skills but the darned thing is simple and deadly effective! It works. Thanks J!

I can post the tying instructions if anyone is interested.
