Green Rock Worm Euro Nymph? You bet!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Easy peasy. Only 3 materials and that's if you count the rib as a material. Keep the good stuff coming Matt.

[@ninacleven7889]

Neat little fly pattern. Thanks.

[@randymorris8740]

Seeing you double the weight reminds me of a trick I use to do for a flat body nymph fly,... Once you get the weight double wrapped, take a pair of needle nose pliers and flatten the weight while its on the hook... This will give you a tapered flat body then simply tie your pattern on top of it as normal...

[@lorawinfrey9112]

Simple and easy I like that

[@edwardchavez5627]

Good Morning Sir Matt, The Rock Worm ROCKS nice color too. Have a great weekend Sir Matt, i'm at work right now and need to get with it even though i'm not feeling it LOL 🙂

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

I'll tie a few of these for my trip to Maryland and Jersey later on. Nice,simple pattern , very effective.

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Hi Matt . Thanks for another Great Video & Fly , I like this one a lot 👍

[@MyItalians]

Good morning Matt. Simple is nice. Like the weight method. Something I never do but have seen it done before. The snow is melting now and the river flow is strong. Good time to try your method to get it down faster. Have a blessed weekend.

[@cosmiccharlie8606]

Vary cool fly thank you for your time sir

[@wd4477]

Good stuff Matt. Thanks for the video.

[@dennismccarthy7146]

The lead wire technique you highlighted is diffidently in tune with your keeping it simple approach to fly tying. As always, thanks for taking the time and effort to find these useful techniques. BRAVO ZULU.

[@epsieblaine7968]

The green rock worm is a killer pattern here In the Smokey Mountains.I'm going to use the red light trick,red,yellow,and green heads,from now own.Great tie and great red light tip.Here is a tip I have learned over the years.When I use lead I varnish over the lead.If you don't over time or if the fly gets wet and allowed to dry,the lead will tarnish,just like a car battery,and discolor the whole fly. Hope youall are having a great weekend. Ken

[@FlyTyer1948]

When I was a new tyer, I was taught the same thing about lead bleeding through, though my advisor’s solution was to completely cover the lead with thread. It always seemed to work, & there was no bleed-through.

[@jimgollach6202]

Hi Matt! That's right up my alley, I know it's a bit different but I fish green inchworms, the fish love them, so I know this pattern is a fish catcher. Simple and fun. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend, be safe. 👍👍

[@epsieblaine7968]

Hey Jim.The green inch worm is a great pattern here In the Smokey Mountains.Walk 300 yrds. here when the time is right and you will have green inch worms on you.Then you know what pattern to fish.Have a great day friend and tight lines.

[@SavageFlies]

Thanks Jim! I need to do a green inch worm dry fly this year. 👍

[@jimholland1592]

Good morning Matt☕️☕️ I am a green rock worm sort of guy 🤣🤣🤣 Just a few more weeks and the streams will be bursting! So today I will learn to set a hook on some brim😉 Hope you and the family are all doing well👍

[@bigdaddy99929]

Love nymphs and really love KISS. Once again a nice simple yet effective fly. Thx Matt!🙂

[@FlyTyer1948]

Fast & easy. Recycle - it’s a good use for the tippet mono on a spool that’s getting a bit too old, so you buy a new spool & still use up the old one. This pattern can also be used for a green inch worm if you see them dropping from trees over your favorite stream.

[@lockhackle2645]

That’s funny!! I just tied some of these from that book.

[@ybarrajc]

Thanks Matt appreciate you sharing. I love the simplicity of this one thanks again have a blessed day my friend.

[@billh4802]

Sometimes simple is best, but the real takeaway for me was the weight wrapping technique. Thanks for another great video, Matt!

[@andrewwebster13]

That’s a fish catcher alright

[@karljones6594]

God morning sir Matt sometimes the simplest are the best. Lke the pattern thank you for sharing this one. Enjoy your day my friend and stay safe.

[@Jd-yc3gw]

Good morning Matt. Just having my ☕️ and learning a trick for my weight problem 🙄. Nice, simple nymph pattern to demo it too. I’m thinking that I should look for that book too. It’s starting to feel like spring here with the days just creeping up to about 37F or so for most of the afternoons. The nights are still range in low 20’sF for the most part. Just saw some Canada Geese yesterday in the fields so the warmer weather is on its way. Take care Matt.

[@diecastrejuvenation7779]

Nice easy nymph! Thanks for the tip on the weighting. Little tricks like that are always good to learn. That one makes getting the body taper much easier.

[@crowdaddy8355]

Nice to see an easy pattern every once in a while. Thanks Matt.

[@mattsflytying2816]

I love the green rock worm. I use and tie one similar and it works great. Good tie. I enjoy your ability to talk as you tie you are smooth and enthusiastic 👍👍👍

[@cheflexx778]

Good morning Matt. That's a sweet little pattern. Also, I received the hat and have been rocking the hell out of it. 😁😁😁. Thanks! Have a great day!

[@james-lt8ry]

Very simple, very effective! One of the first patterns I learned as a wee lad.

[@chevyguy6510]

Kissing it. Keeping it super simple! Thanks for posting this one Matt. reminds me, I need to get going building my supply. Going to try and head to the Driftless in the next couple of weeks.

[@leemowers9395]

Hello Chevyguy65, I saw your reference to the Driftless region, where are you located, I am near Moline IL/Davenport IA (back from Florida next week).

[@chevyguy6510]

@@leemowers9395 I'm in SE Wisconsin. About 3 hr drive to my fishing area in western WI.

[@jamesvatter5729]

Yes, Matt, these are definitely a "Must Have" pattern.

[@joeduca8582]

Nice caddis larva Matt, good tip on the weighting. I tied a lot of those green rock worms, (those booger green things we called 'em), after catching trout that were full of them. Tied them with "caddis green" dubbing, peacock herl head, curved and straight hooks. Lots of latex bodied ones too, from cutting up gloves - a real pain. They all looked great. Feather-Craft made a special dubbing blend for them. I even made my own blends. Never caught a single trout, not even a sucker - which usually would keep you on guard for a take with their nibbles. Gave them to my wife and she caught trout. Have a good weekend Matt.

[@jeffreystone7327]

For simplicity I’ll put that right there with Walts Worn. Sure makes a nice looking fly. Simple is nice for us beginners. Thank you Matt. Great video.

[@edwardmlotkiewicz2343]

An effective fly on Delaware's White Clay Creek.

[@Wyamike734]

Thanks for the video Matt! Simple fly that looks like it would be a fish catcher! I will tie some up today and give them a try . That is once the ice is gone and water temps come up a bit. Everyone be safe and have a great weekend to all!

[@philipvankampen3394]

Now, this is when it makes sense to go by the red,yellow,green color coding. :) Also, it must pain a scientist to say that it's 'lighter' than lead. Ha ha ...

[@laytonmarvin3790]

Nice choice Matt, love those simple but effective patterns. Thanks for sharing

[@leemowers9395]

Cool little fuzzy nymph, great technique, nice demonstration, easy but effective. Thanks Matt for all your work on the channel. Very well done.

[@barbaraemerich1921]

I love it!! Thank you Matt!! I’m needing to tie up 50 flies for a swag bag giveaway for our annual workshop. I’ve done 50 zebra midges already. So I think this one will be great as the second one.

[@kennymcleod6402]

Just thought I would let you know that your videos are GREAT!!!!!!! I use them weekly!

[@jamesyates5191]

Thanks Matt. Very simple but effective fly.

[@jbpipes9551]

There you go again using the K.I.S.S. technique, Keep It Simple Savage!! Good tie Matt.

[@SavageFlies]

Hahaha! Thanks JB. I'm really a sucker for simple flies. I can't tell you how many times I'm on the stream and looking through my fly boxes, and ignore all the fancy patterns and tie on something like this. :-)

[@JamesMcCutcheon]

This is a good pattern as I can see. Never tied one but I will tie this one. Thanks Matt, great channel.

[@mitchbain3338]

Amazing simple flie, easy for a novice tier as myself!

[@davehall2160]

Cool looking fly Matt Just the kind I like, easy Excellent tip on the lead wire Thanks for the video Matt hope you are having a great weekend The fishing here was great, got 14 rainbows in the net and missed a lot

[@charlieboutin3341]

I like it! This video also reminded me..I Have that book..got it after your review.🙂 Time to get it out again! Thanks a lot Matt, have a great one! 👍👍🎣

[@ralphnicosia-rusin966]

Looks like a great fly in terms of being able to quickly make enough to fish where the fish are holding and snags are probable. Hope my brookies down the road also give it a thumbs up.

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

Maybe one of the books in your future needs to be a compendium of "hints & tips" like today's "lesson" on weighting? Just a thought. Nice, simple fly but it looks like a really effective pattern. Thanks Matt!

[@harryjoesather6539]

nice and easy one there matt. thanks see ya joe and as always i will be watching. i was at the maryland fly fishing & collectible tackle show on saturday was pretty cool.

[@richarddavis8272]
