Wiggle Jig Worm
Maybe you found the previously published tandem rag worm too tandemnised and would be better off with a one-hook-only fly.Then The Wiggling Jigging Worm shown in this article is a good alternative.
Maybe you found the tandem worm too tandemnised and would be better of with a one-hook-only fly.Then the fly The Wiggling Jigging Worm shown beneath is a good alternative.
It is strongly inspired by the fly Sandiglen (The Sand Leech) originally tied by René Hansen.
However, this version has added weight just behind the hook eye, so it will jig through the water and at same time make vibrations to the sides due to the Magic Head. It is a fly that is very much alive in the water and I am sure it will be taken for a small clam worm. It has the right movement, color and the characteristicly flat profile with all the legs.

Another great fly is the Omoe Brush tied by Ken Bonde Larsen on a trip to the small island Omoe.

Long story short

Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

Richard,
The Magic Heads are made by Swiss Marc Petitjean, and are widely available and can be found in many flyshops, but can be purchased directly from his online shop.

John T,
the size I used for this fly is "Round, R12 for sizes 12-6".
It makes the fly wiggle when retrieved, but I am not sure whether the fish really care.
