Similar to the household lubricant from which this pattern derives its name, the WD-40 works anytime and everywhere! The profile of this fly and the various colors in which it is available make it one of the most versatile patterns, able to match a host of midge, chironomid, and mayfly species. Tied with a pair of glass beads to add some shine and a little meat to this pattern, the 2-Bead WD40 can be used to match a number of invertebrate families and species on both lakes and rivers.

Bright Little Bug.
I was really interested in the whole Generalist list of flies and enjoyed the article. Next year taking a trip to Tennessee and going to have your Biologist put together a box for me, got some samples of each of the flies on The Generalist recommendations and a little extra from Ascent and start working my way down the list tying a down of each size and color.
