the only hex and drake nymph patterns I have fished are the "wiggle" type.
They are very useful bottom fished on deep holes in sandy areas on the
streams in northern michigan. On those waters they are very much worth the
effort.


I've caught trout on unjointed Hex nymphs.... but the wiggle may be better
for them and Brown Drakes, they are huge bugs and they do wiggle G

I'm going to tie up some with and some without the wiggle joint and try
both, Like Hexs, Brown Drakes hatch at dark and bring up the biggest fish.
That makes entomology and getting good natural models for tying tough, since
you have to choose between trying to catch and examine bugs in the dark or
casting to huge trout .... so far the trout have won G
