Hey Tubedude, since when do you fish with a "fairy wand" huh? heh heh [sly]
Still, I don't disagree with your simplistic approach on Stillwater flyfishing patterns....I find that time in, time out a white woolly bugger with a little crystal flash in the tail and barbell eyes (orange or yellow eyeball decal on the barbell) works as well as anything for wiper, or any warmwater species for that matter. In fact, I have caught multiple species on it including crappie, bluegill, yellow perch, bass of all types, and brown trout as well.
I must say though, that shad fly from troutman 93 is a thing of beauty! Wish I had the patience/artistry to tie like that!.
