Flossy Worm

$2.75

Don’t let spring run-off or stained water keep you from fishing!  A Flossy Worm is a variation of the classic San Juan Worm.  It is a proven pattern that catches fish during the height of spring run-off when the flow is high & dirty.  It is also a good pattern to have in the event of a heavy afternoon rain shower or a sudden change in discharge rates when fishing on your favorite tailwater.  A Flossy Worm will typically fish well year-round, but for off-colored water, a pink version seems to produce better results.

Fishing Strategies

Aquatic worms play an important role in a trout’s diet on many rivers, so it is key to carry a few in your box.  We fish a Flossy Worm under a yarn indicator typically with droppers underneath. The fly looks very natural in the water with the Spanflex being able to move very freely. In this pattern, our favorite colors are pink and brown. We believe it is one of the most successful flies to fish throughout both western and eastern tailwaters when high flows create off-color water.
