Is this better than the Squirmy Worm? Tying Cheech’s Perdiworm

In this fly tying tutorial we cover one of Cheech's new takes on a worm pattern: the Perdiworm. It's basically a combination of a perdigon nymph and a worm, which is where its name was born. What's cool about this pattern is that it has the fast sink rate of a perdigon nymph, but the look of a worm with it's tail made from our Flex Floss. This allows you to get it down into pockets and deep runs fast and accurately, which allows you to fish more effectively. This is especially crucial if you're fishing to tight targets in high water. It works great when euro nymphing, but also under an indicator as well. It's easy to tie and it catches loads of fish. What's not to love?

I tied a few when they first did their tutorial, and they definitely catch fish. They also fish a lot more effectively without the traditional squirmy material keeping it suspended in the column. I tend to tie them on smaller hooks and using them as a top dropper with a big stonefly for the point on a euro rig out in the western US for winter. I'll also dry dropper them in the late spring/early summer in the higher elevation once the caddis start to pop.

I tie very similar but a smaller bead on a straight s.12 hook with the flexifloss legs front and back for tailing thin lip mullet . It works
