Description
Fly Type: This is a subsurface streamer and worm imitation. The name refers to its design, which is a realistic imitation of a sandworm with added glitter and a green color, giving it a strong attractor quality.
Best Suited For: An excellent fly for targeting a wide range of predatory fish that feed on marine worms. It is a go-to pattern for sea trout, striped bass, and cod.
Best Time to Fish: This fly works well year-round, but it's particularly effective when worms are actively being hunted. The glitter and green color make it a great choice for both clear and off-color water.
Water Type: A classic saltwater fly, especially for coastal areas.
Best Location: The Sandworm Glitter Green is most effective when fished over sandy or muddy bottoms and near eelgrass beds where marine worms are a primary food source.
Other Value: The key to this fly's success is its realistic body shape and added visual trigger. The fly is tied with a long, segmented profile to perfectly mimic a sandworm. The green color and glitter create a powerful visual trigger that can provoke a strike, especially when fish are less selective. Fish it with a slow, crawling retrieve to imitate a worm moving along the bottom.
