Why Is This Simple Fly So Controversial?

McFly Angler Guide 4 days ago

Description

We're continuing our Worms & Grubs fly-tying series with one of the most popular patterns ever created: the San Juan Worm!

And despite how simple this fly is, it's also one of the more controversial patterns in fly fishing.

Some anglers even call it a "trash fly" because it's so incredibly easy to tie.

But regardless of how you feel about it, there's no denying how effective this simple little pattern can be.

San Juan Worms are quick to tie, surprisingly durable, and can catch a wide variety of freshwater fish.

Of course, trout are probably the species most people associate with this fly, but I've also caught plenty of sunfish on them!

You can tie an entire box of these in a relatively short amount of time, and they'll last through plenty of fishing trips.

This Thursday, I'll show you how to tie both a weighted and unweighted version of the San Juan Worm in the full tutorial on my YouTube channel, McFly Angler.

Do you fish San Juan Worms, or are you one of the anglers who prefers to avoid them?

Now you go catch some fish!
