Description
Squirmy Worm in Chartreuse. This is a highly effective, though sometimes controversial, attractor pattern designed to imitate aquatic worms or small leeches. The vibrant, fluorescent chartreuse color acts as a strong visual trigger.
Type of Fly: Attractor / Worm Imitation. It is a subsurface pattern designed to provoke strikes through its movement and bright color.
Target Fish: This fly is exceptionally effective for trout (especially rainbow and brown trout), particularly in heavily stocked or pressured fisheries. It can also be successful for bass and other opportunistic feeders.
When to Fish: The Squirmy Worm is a versatile, year-round pattern. It is particularly effective after rain, when natural worms might be washed into the water. Its bright color also makes it a great choice for murky or off-color water. It can be fished successfully at any time of day.
Saltwater or Freshwater: This is predominantly a freshwater fly.
Best Fishing Locations: This fly is best fished in rivers and streams, especially in slower runs, deeper pools, and around structures. It is also very effective in lakes and ponds, particularly in areas with muddy or silty bottoms where natural worms would reside. It is especially popular in "put-and-take" fisheries.
