Description
The San Juan Worm is one of the easiest flies you can tie, but that doesn't mean you can't experiment with the pattern!
When tying mine, I sometimes pull the chenille back slightly before securing it with a few tight thread wraps.
This creates a small bump in the body, almost like an inchworm moving along.
It's a simple variation that gives the fly a slightly different profile.
And when trout have seen countless traditional San Juan Worms drifting past, sometimes a small change in appearance might help catch their attention.
Is it necessary? Not at all! But it's one of those little things I enjoy experimenting with at the tying vise.
This Thursday, I'll show you how to tie both weighted and unweighted San Juan Worms in the full tutorial on my YouTube channel, McFly Angler.
Do you ever modify classic fly patterns, or do you prefer sticking with the originals?
Now you go catch some fish!
