BTW what kind of wigglers did you have in mind? [/#005028][#005028]For one I like the DC Wiggler.[/#005028] [inline DCW.jpg] [signature] Re: [macfly55] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-29-2009 thats what i call a spring wiggler..usually has a thin black dle on it..good steelhead fly..not so much summer.. [signature] Re: [Dryrod] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-29-2009 thats a new one for me looks easy to tie though..the ones i tie are pretty simple.orange or red body ..some times pink..black hackle..always red squiril for the dle..some times bead eyes somtimes not..kind offlooks like a stone fly without the thorax.. [signature] Re: [lurtch] wiggler flies.. - macfly55 - 04-29-2009 got any pictures of the ones you tie?? reason I ask is in an online search have found ones like I pictured.. but not the long tail like DR pictured..

I mean after all you are the computer go to man when we need answers. lol BTW just Google WC Wiggler and walla[/#005000]. [signature] Re: [Dryrod] wiggler flies.. - macfly55 - 04-29-2009 how am I suppose to find anything if you keep changing the name on me.. [sly] I did find several references to the dc wiggler with the longer tail.. but it seems the more predominant variation is the shortened squirrel hair tail... MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-30-2009 i dont have a clue how to down load things but i found the fly in all my favorite collors..if you look up wiggler fly..then go to hatches magazine/spring wigglers..ther all there..im totally computer iliterate but still trying.. [signature] Re: [macfly55] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-30-2009 just 1 more ad on go to page 3.. [signature] Re: [lurtch] wiggler flies.. - Scruffy_Fly - 04-30-2009 Lurtch, Tell more about when where and how to best use these wigglers. [signature] Re: [lurtch] wiggler flies.. - Dryrod - 04-30-2009 [#005000]Hey lurtch - to download and save a picture - place your curser over the picture, right click it then left click Save Picture As which will then open My Pictures in your document folder & then click Save. Now the picture is on your hard drive.[/#005000] [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-30-2009 there good for running through the the deep dark parts of the hole were the big browns hang out..i always try to match the collor of the underbellie of the existing wigglers in that stream.. [signature] Re: [Dryrod] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-30-2009 i think i got it thanks.. [signature] Re: [lurtch] wiggler flies.. - macfly55 - 04-30-2009 those are the squirrel hair variant I am talking about.. the tail is much shorter than DR's dc wiggler.. which I found a lot of ads for selling them.. but not much on any site on how to tie them MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] wiggler flies.. - lurtch - 04-30-2009 they are simple just run the body in chenielle or dubbing your choiceput on hackle put thhe squirril tail across the top..i like to ad chain bead eyes.more life like..if you didnt already know you can go down to your local hardware store and get diferrent size and collor pull chains for your lights..thenyou take a wire cutter and cut of two beads at a time..they make great lightweight eyes for your flies..
