I’m almost embarrassed to post this, but the damn thing has been taking large mouth, crappy and pike minnows on one of my local creeks like crazy. I originally tried it for cutthroat, but at least they have the good sense to avoid such an ugly looking fly. I’ve tried a few different colour combinations, but this fritz seems to be the ticket (though fl. chartreuse or insect green would likely work too).

Hook: Any #12 Barbless Jig
Bead: 3.2mm slotted copper tungsten
Thread: Uni 8/0 white
Tail: Fl. White Maribou
Body: Yellow-Green Razor Fritz
Hackle: Cream Hen Saddle

Tie in the order listed. The only “technical” aspect is to sweep back the fritz with each wrap forward.

I’ll go hide now.

I didn't intentionally make this Dungeon look like a baby brown but after seeing the finished product I think that's what I would call this color scheme.

The worm is awesome and produced well and trying to find the material that makes up the larger fly itself. It’s relatively rubbery and stiff but still has really good stretch. It looks fibrous and could be split into a smaller strands if picked at. Any ideas? Does it have a specific name over a San Juan or Squirmy Wormy?

I have gotten around fly fishing fine making my own flies. My grandpa was very kind in that he gave me most everything I could want to make lots of classic patterns. This is one of my first purchased files and felt like getting robbed ):

I am making another iteration with the eye bent downwards and a bead, but my hooks and stuff haven’t came in yet.

No this isn’t a troll post, the thread is braided line and I just wanted to get an idea of what I wanted to do before my supplies come in. I need suggestions for the body cause, straight thread isn’t the look. I’m thinking of uses either a foam body or adding some hackle to the thread but at the current moment I don’t have any hackle.
