On Wisconsin spring creeks, when everything else seems to fail, and conditions are in the fish's favor, this fly pulls wary trout out of their hiding spots. Works like a charm. Majickaly😉
Nice tie, but a quick tip. If you fasten the lead wire to the shank with an Ezy hackle plier there is no waste to break off. Discarding an inch of wire doesn't sound much, but if you tie 1000 flies that equates to approx. 27 yards of lead wire going in the bin.
Yes I agree, i always hold lil bit of tag end on lead , then wrap, then small tag end wrap for rest of hook, then waste zero lead, also if he would have reverse tied the squirmy wormy he would have only need 1 strand and no waste there as well

When the rivers are flooded out and nothing is working, these come out of my box, epic emergency fly.

Please explain the reverse tie of the squirmy material?
Best Video. THX
Do you use a varnish or glue for the head???
I've tried various glues and it seems to eat away at the rubber.
I've read what ever adhesive you use MUST be water based or it will devolve the material.
Do you really need to use the bead as well as the wire. Great looking lure/fly
Hello sir is there a web site I can find these hooks and beads having trouble finding them and I like you way of the squirmy
