Fly Tying

Recommended Posts

I found a really easy but nice looking worm pattern.

 

Materials are pretty simple.

Lead

Pink thread

Red thread

Hook

 

What types of worms do you like to tie?

thats one way to tie worms but your spending a lot of thread when you really dont need to

 

san juan worms for me

It does use a bit of thread.

I think next time I will either base wrap the lead in floss or put some surgical tape on it like I've seen done with other flies.

I've been tying some worms with Lead, Pink thread, Red ultra chenille, and size 12 or 14 scud hook.

Can you post a picture?

I'd like to see how they came out.

you might try a latex condom worm they use little thread and look quite real

I'm at work so I'm afraid of my results if I try to Google that.

LOL

I like to tie red floss or yarn at halfway down the bend of a sudden hook and just wrap forward.

I side with riff here, latex worms work amazing for me, something like the vladi worm which is a big heavy meat fly works great. You can get the pink latex condoms from performance flies (just google it) most fly shops dont carry condoms! Although there may be some more specialized adult stores that you may find these in i side with performance flies because they carry the right ones(no lube) and a lot of other materials from across the pond like jan siman dubbing which is amazing btw.
