I find they seldom catch more fish that I do. To tell the truth, one of my
favorite brim wet flies is the McGinty which is just a wet fly version of a
bee. Some also spin deer hair to make floating versions of a bee and they work
great, but brim destroy them in nothing flat. wasp patterns also work very
good. When I go to conclaves I like to watch someone spin deer hair to make a
mouse, but it generaly takes them about an hour and a half to tie one of them.
I won't spend that long tying any fly.
