Fly of the Week 5/7/2013: San Juan Worm

Everyone has an old reliable, but I think this should be nicknamed "The Old Reliable." The San Juan Worm is a fly to have in every freshwater fly box. It is great for all sizes of trout if tied in various colors like pink, red, orange, or tan. This fly is very simple for fly tiers of all skill levels and can be tied in different ways. Some people like to add a bead head for more weight, but all you need is a hook, chenille, and thread. If you don't know, here is how.

Recipe:

• Hook: Nymph #12
• Thread: 6/0 Uni Thread (to match worm)
• Body: Ultra Chenille Pink (Red, Orange, Tan)

Tie on.
