Fly of the Week

This week we going back to a nymph style of fly. This week its the San Juan Worm. It is a great fly that can be used while nymphing or on a drop rig with an attractor.

Recipe:
Hook: scud hook sizes 10-18
Thread: matched to body
Abdomen: Ultra Chenille color of your choice and if you need it weighted some ultra wire coiled around the shank.

Tying tip: make sure you use a lighter to singe the tips so they narrow down to a point and look like a real worm. Don't do it too long though.
