Hello all,

I was looking through a fly catalog the other day, and noticed how many people are taking standard patterns like the pheasant tail and prince nymph, and adding a wire body to create a "new" fly. This is definately a HOT trend in trout flies. My question is: Is this trend here to stay, or will it die like the poxy back trend of years past? Seems like wire makes cool looking fly bodies that weigh enough to get them down where the fish are, but are they effective? I tied a few for the heck of it, and I have pictures below. Thanks for any opinions.
