About this fly
The wiggle nymph developed by Doug Swisher and Carl Richards is actually a fly tying process of tying an articulated fly, just like Blaine Crockett’s Game Changer baitfish flies. This allows the nymph fly to swim more natural. The nymph pattern that I’m going to share closely represents a Blue Wing Olive Nymph. Since this pattern is more of a generic process to create an articulated nymph; try this when tying a pheasant tail, a prince nymph, a hare’s ear, or other nymphs that you enjoy tying. For me that pattern closely represents an attractor fly or a searching fly pattern.
