The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.

Chewee Worm

2 comments

Let's face it, worm patterns can work well. Extremely well. Here is another pattern to add to the worm pile. It looks good and is easy to tie. Good in red or worm brown.

What did you coat the fly with? I've been emailing with another tyer and the same thing's happening to me, even without a coating. It seems the stuff 'breaks down' after awhile and comes undone. I know the package sez something like "may not be compatible with certain adhesives." I tried Liquid Fusion on one and have to check it. I would recommend NOT using Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails, it breaks the stuff down. It's too bad if this stuff doesn't hold up, it makes the flies look awesome. There must be an adhesive that coats it and doesn't break it down.

I tied this fly & the next morning the Chewee skin disintegrated, what did I do wrong?

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
