[@chriswright2135]

Fantastic Rhys love that 👍👍👍

[@buttduck]

Wow Rhys! What a slick video, it had fantastic visuals and the standard top content. Going to Lechlade next week again and will give the App Worm a go.

[@seankelly3997]

Great video Rhys, l use the red apps "blood worm" a lot especially this time of year it is probably the most successful way I have of catching trout.

[@Lukasz_Fishing_Ireland]

I like it. Im actually tying few bloodworms now. Thanks for all info :) 🙏☘

[@admanzw]

Another top video Rhys, are you going to do more videos on picking floating, sinking lines etc. the last vid on intermediate was super helpful, a line I never knew I needed.

[@pauljohnsontwonoviceangler6170]

Great video and tactics are as usual helpful.

[@kylecourtney8371]

2 olive apps(green machine ) as we call them ,cortland blue , short fast pulls 💥💥💥 pulled me out the shit on a number of occasions ,the blues love them also

[@nicke6394]

Just bought your vario fly selection. Can’t wait to try them out 😁👍

[@RhysFishes]

Best of luck. 👍

[@jsboyle3459]

Nice wee video👍

[@notmissingout9369]

Great lure I used them at chatton trout lakes in Northumberland I had 16 trout lost as many the olive one seemed to work better on a floating line a cross the wind pulling back fast

[@baldieman64]

As with any form of lure fishing, a sudden burst of speed will often induce a strike from a following fish. As stated, don't slow down or stop. For pike that don't take using this technique, I would let the lure drop below the fish, and lift it back up. This can induce savage takes, in inches of water against the bank, and I don't see why it wouldn't work for trout.

[@TheSavagederek]

I caught my 1st apps worm caught trout 3 weeks ago on a sink tip and a fast strip retrieve. It was the beaded Amber version and it mullered it.

[@seanbenstead7650]

I recently got back into fly fishing after 20 odd year gap and really find your videos and tutorials helpful thank you 👍

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Bery interesting video

[@RhysFishes]

Thanks!

[@woodturnere8045]

Great video as always when will u do another dad vs son vid i loved that one

[@colmcoyle5325]

Great video I did a role pole as fast as I could and got the most fish in my local fishery to day

[@RhysFishes]

Happy days

[@robertalexander7286]

Hahaha. Watched this last weekend and fished them on four outings on our syndicated loch this week 6 -5 -10 -3. So average of 6 per outing. Maybe not record breaking until you see the amount of 0s in the catch record. That's with a red one, waiting for more flexifloss to show up.

[@oldgold5848]

Rhys I tie a pink worm with legs made from a pink and orange barred rubber which I think is a silli legs material, or maybe something I got for pike flies. Fluo pink body, works well pulled quickly in the top couple of feet, or sink and draw. Not so well under a bung for this one where I find black works well.

[@RhysFishes]

nice mate. Sounds like a succesful pattern!

[@owencameron4911]

Hi Rhys

[@michal30061984]

Great video. If you saying about leader is straight one dia fluorocarbon or taper 7lb? Cheers

[@RhysFishes]

straight through

[@moggerter]

That boy would be a take on freelining a lobworm as I did as a boy 40 years ago still the best way to catch trout. But rules and regs kill the fun out of fishing these days. Valleys Wales ta

[@toshko04]

Hi , on the floating line what type and length of leader do you use a tapered leader or a single diameter line ?

[@RhysFishes]

Single diameter, length depends on wind direction and what you're comfortable with 👍

[@adamhl09]

Is there any particular colour you would recommend for Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter?

[@RhysFishes]

3 colours mentioned are all you need

[@adamhl09]

@@RhysFishes Thanks Rhys. Hope the comp went well.

[@chrismichael9591]

Hi mate, do the apps or squirmy work well in warmer months also ?

[@RhysFishes]

They do but other methods will outfish them 👍

[@johncarrigan9352]

Great video. One thing that confuses me though is how a 12 foot leader with the worm would fish. Surely off a very slow retrieve it would still sink considerably? Or is this fly really that light (unlike a squirmy?)

[@RhysFishes]

Apps are relatively light but like anything, it does depend on what hook you use, the length of the worm itself amongst other things. An inch and a half either side on a size 10 hook is my preference and that's based largely on the original (don't change what's not broken)

[@johncarrigan9352]

@@RhysFishes thanks man

[@stevenroberts3648]

Rhys how can I sneak a couple of fish during the winter on my club lake and they don’t stock from September till March but we can still fish it. Quite a deep lake 25acres any good ideas fella

[@RhysFishes]

Worms will work even on overwintered fish. Its just a case of finding the depth. Alternatively look at the winter natural approach video 👍

[@Charlie-cc3jl]

I can’t cast well when I use an 18ft leader

[@gordonredmond1329]

Who won the bungs from the other video??

[@quincym-e4680]

Would u be confident at least one of these methods would take fish at some point? How long would u try each method for?

[@RhysFishes]

In the colder months they are devastingly effective in the right hands. Try for 20 minutes and then change method or move spot

[@michafejkiel7236]

What is worm material and diameter?

[@RhysFishes]

Any flexi floss will do, straighter the better

[@lisamchale6242]

where do get the worms from

[@RhysFishes]

Fario fly

[@robertalexander7286]

Rhys what beads do you use for the yellow one and where do you get them, thanks.

[@RhysFishes]

EBay there were rob 👍

[@rodgerminer3202]

I like how all you knew guys like using a float. That's not fly fishing ,I could use a spinning rod and do the same thing and two Flys should be illegal you call those Flys

[@RhysFishes]

Merry Christmas Rodger 😂😂😂
