Squirmy Worm

Likely the most popular fly for trout in the past couple of years, the Squirmy flies have had a big impact on fly anglers and tyers alike. The original Squirmy Wormie has evolved into a number of basic variations and the material is getting worked into a number of new fly patterns.
This version of the worm features a dubbed and ribbed body. I tie this pattern in quite a number of colors including reds, pink, orange, green, tan, brown and even a couple in black. Change up the bead color, dubbing and wite to match the squirmy material. You can also add a hot collar just behind the bead with your final thread wraps and whip finish.
**** Do not use acetone or solvent based cement around the squirmy material. water based is okay. Keep out of extreme heat as well (Don't leave them in a hot car) ****

Hot spot interest...

Hi,
Could you give me the reason for using hot spots and if using holographic, for example mylar tinsel on fly model on the back of the body, or other flash materials. Does increase the number of strikes? On the other hand, does this work on all species of trout or is it only suitable for rainbow trout? Could you provide me some published article about this subject?
Thank you.

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.
