How to tie The Red Apps Worm - Brandling for Fly Fishing

How to tie The Red Apps Worm/Brandling for fly fishing
In this video we'll go through the basics of tying the Red Apps/Brandling! A staple fly in the box for trout fishing on small stillwaters. I also share with you the fishing method to make the most out of this fly.

A favourite of mine. I now tie them on a jig hook - idea that a little pull gives the ‘fly’ a bit more kick

[@RhysFishes]

Interesting thought process there Rob. No bead?

[@peterroberts2326]

Rhys Fishes with a tungy bead and without

I used this fly at chatton trout lakes in Northumberland today and I had 16 fish on it pulling back fast seamed to work on a floating line

Red

@@RhysFishes many thanks. Keep with the videos, they are great 👍

Hi Rhys. Paul from Two Novice Anglers here. Nice video! Silly question, why 4 legs and not 6 or 8?

[@RhysFishes]

Benefits for all types. More legs = more movement. Sometimes too much movement on those calm days will put the fish off 🎣
