I have supplies to tie this worm. Your video has renewed my interest. I plan to use it for Yellow Perch through the ice. Last year after cleaning my perch, I found the bottom of the bucket to be covered with fat red bloodworms. I'm picturing this a a red bloodworm cluster that should entice the perch like they hit the "motherlode" of bloodworms. The easy meal. Thanks!
Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to post your comment. I am pleased to hear that my video has inspired you to get behind the vise once again. This pattern was originally designed as a bloodworm pattern, but it also fishes well when retrieved at pace. Any fish that likes bloodworms in its diet should love this pattern. Cheers, Phil
You certainly could. I used a bead head version on a jig hook in Argentina with great results. With this version I leave it unweighted and let my fly line get the fly down. Cheers, Phil.
You could. The originator of this pattern, Peter Appleby, used superglue as he felt other coatings changed the body colour. I was following the recommendations of the original tyer. Cheers Phil
Looks great. I was preparing to tie some squirmy worms. I’m going to try and get some sexi floss and tie these. I’ve caught some nice trout in northern Wyoming with worm flies .
Thanks, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed my tying video. The Apps Worm is a great fly. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Cheers, Phil
Yes, I have seen this pattern when exchanging some chironomid patterns with a swiss fellow on the water this season. He laughed when I asked what the heck those dangly looking spider things are in his box. I did notice he had some in hot orange & chartreuse as well that he "experimenting with" he claimed. Then the guy trolling a red spratley seemed to be into fish. I dont even own a red spratley, but I will tie up a few of these Dangly Looking Spidery things..... the "Apps Worms"
Thanks, there are lots of color options to consider with this pattern. It's always a good idea to have a few in your box as something different to try when the exact match the hatch stuff isn't performing. Cheers, Phil
Hi Phil. Thanks for sharing! If I can ask, whom do you obtain your glo-brute through? I have tried finding it unsuccessfully. Also, you tied another pattern using fluorescent white glo-brite floss and I’m unable to find that either. If you could share the supplier so I can obtain both! Thank you very much Phil!
Glad you enjoyed the video. If you check out the description of the video you will see I have placed links to where you can find all of the materials. There is a link to Glo Brite Floss there. I do this for every fly I post. Cheers, Phil
How were you fishing it? I have had my best success using brisk 4-6 inch strips with a pause. I did really well with a bead head version in Argentina. I will be also be featuring that version too. Cheers, Phil.
@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Hey Phil. I tried faster strips and then also hand over hand. I'm sure I tried a slow retrieve to a couple of times but I never got a hit on it and kind of figured it was more of a "Stocker" fly. I'm going to give them another try this spring.
@@timkern177 Like any fly they work sometimes and not others. I have caught trout in Alberta, BC and Quebec in this colour scheme, red and amber. As with all attractors they do work well on stocked fish but I have caught some pretty large fish too.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to reach out to me. I am pleased to hear of your success. It is a very versatile pattern that can be fished in various ways. Cheers, Phil
W O W ,,, VERY WELL DONE 👍,, THANK YOU FOR DEDICATION AND CREATIVITY THAT YOU BRING TO THOUSANDS OF US,,,, PLEASE BE SAFE AND HEALTHY,,,!!! MAY I REQUEST PLEASE,,, TO DO A CREATIVE. TUBE FLY SESSION,, THAT MAY BE BENEFICIAL TO MANY OF US,,, IM SURE THEY WILL BE DYNAMIC,,,
It worked on my local small pond! 10 minutes of fishing and a nice rainbow took it. Thanks
Thanks. I am pleased to hear that the Apps Worm worked for you too.
Cheers, Phil

I tie this with lead wrapped on the hook to get it a little heavy but not too heavy. Great content, thanks!!

have you subbed the superglue with sally hansen's hard as nails?
You could. The originator of this pattern, Peter Appleby, used superglue as he felt other coatings changed the body colour. I was following the recommendations of the original tyer.

Thank you, can't wait to try it!
Great vid 👍🏻
It’s a deadly pattern, caught so many fish on this and the amber and olive versions.
Thanks Gary,
I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed my video. I love the amber version too. One of my favourites.
Cheers, Phil

Good looking pattern indeed. Looks deadly, will have to tie some up, it's been awhile Phil. 😊

I might have to give it another try. I tied a few up a couple years ago and have yet to catch a fish on one.

It’s a great pattern I fish it a floating line pulled back different speeds to find out how the fish want it I had 20 rainbows in a day on it

works for crappie too.....
That’s great to hear. I will be trying it in a few other species too.
