Estaz Wormies

[AndrewP 0]

I wanted to try and create a fly that would imitate the spin-fisherman's plastic worm or jerkbait. For fly-rodding, the fly had to be lighweight, weedless, and have good action.

 

Here is what I've come up with:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ties have a couple of special characteristics:

 

1) Use offset worm hook for weedless characteristics and to get fly to track straight

2) Glass rattle just below hook offset for hook oreintation, sound and to look like "eyes"

3) Special wrap technique with estaz over the rubber legging material

 

 

Shout out to FTForum member Rich Mc for the inspiration and technique.

Those will catch redfish, trout, and anything else on the flats.

This is my Limp Richard fly. It's tied entirely on a length of 20 pound backing with a #4 octopus hook at the end. On the Madison river I caught 3 trout with 7 casts using a slight variation from the one pictured. It had a small spun deer hair head and darker tail.
