Lance Dean of Fishbait's Fly Box ties a Copper Juan Worm fly pattern.

I am not going to sit here and tell you that I am a professional fly tier/fly fisherman or that I am on this “Pro Staff” or that “Pro Team” because at the time of this writing, I am not. Nor, am I going to tell you that I fish a hundred days out of the year; although, I wish I could. And I am most definitely not going to sit here and tell you that I have flies that are distributed by the many fly fishing manufactures in the market today; at least, not yet. What I am going to tell you is that, I am simply a man who is extremely passionate about tying flies and fishing them when I get the chance.

The Copper Juan Worm is a cross between a Copper John and a San Juan Worm that can be used during high water situations. Lance Dean of Fishbait's Fly Box demonstrates the tying of the Copper Juan Worm.

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.
