Tying the Squirmy Worm Trout fly Pattern - Ep168 PF

[@richardandrews7232]

Great pattern variation. I’m new to fly tying and am looking forward to tying some of these and using them in the Texas Hill Country this spring.

[@FryFlier]

Thanks Darren, great as usual.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks Gary! Cheers

[@hankvana2149]

These are great for panfish! Was admiring the green squirmy worm fly - tied with black bead-chain eyes, longish partridge collar and a shorter tail would be an awesome damsel nymph imitation. Will have to get some of the green squirmy stuff! Cheers Darren! Hank

[@PiscatorFlies]

Hank, that sounds cool and reminds me that I've been meaning to tie a damsel one of these days. I used to fish quite a few back in the day. I can send you some of the green, email me. Cheers

@@PiscatorFlies Darren, just thought that I would mention that the best adhesive I've found to use around squirmy material is Bishers "Tear Mender". Tear Mender is very stretchy (not as much as the squirmy though) holds well and doesn't damage the squirmy material. Use the stuff to glue eyes on a lot of my pike streamers - like the way it penetrates and bonds everything together.

[@PiscatorFlies]

@@hankvana2149 Hank, thanks for the heads up on the Tear Mender. Is this the stuff you use? amzn.to/2GG9Qnd I'll have to pick up a bottle to try it out. Cheers

Nice variation on the pattern. Thanks for sharing.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Steve, thank you! Cheers!

[@jodybarker6873]

Thanks Darren, feels like forever! I'll have to give these a shot.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Jody, yes, it's been a while, Good luck, cheers

[@scottlowe3355]

First time I’ve seen that variation. Thanks! Seems easier to manage than wrapping the squirmy material around the hook and pulling over the bead or through it. I’ll have to try it out.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Scott, thanks for the comment, I agree, the squirm can be a little tough to tame, this one is definitely a little simpler than some of the others. Good luck at the vise, cheers

[@MikeSmith-up2px]

nice, I'll definetly have some in my fly box. thanks for sharing.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks Mike, best of luck with these out there this season. Cheers

[@mikedurrant1496]

[@PiscatorFlies]

Mike, thanks, good luck at the vise with these. Nice little worms for some colored water.

[@minkos61]

[@PiscatorFlies]

Ernie, thanks! Good luck with the material hunt. Cheers

[@keithgillogly7675]

Love the pattern. I have some squirmy material and did not know how to use it until now. Hook is in the vise.

[@kokid8311]

hi darren thanks for the video

[@PiscatorFlies]

Kyle, thank you! Cheers

[@mauricebrown9094]

Very nice, thank you for sharing

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thank you Maurice! Cheers

[@alandouglas4612]

Nice, I am going to try this one for sure.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Alan, thank you. I hope that you get a chance to tie and dunk a few. Cheers

[@mattp9029]

was thinking about using this material for inline musky spinners. Doesn't look like you could double it over very easy.

[@joeduca8582]

Chimo, nice one Darren. It's just the right size for a half night crawler presentation ;o) perfect! I saw the thumbnail for this so I checked my g mail and there was a notification but it came up unavailable. Later I checked your uploads and there it was. Did you you redo it? I was thinking your stickers or deckles are so nice you should have sew on patches made. Cheers

[@PiscatorFlies]

Chimo Joe, I did get some magnets made with the logo. I'll keep an eye out for patches. It would be cool to run into one on the water one day. I made an error on the upload, but I was able to trim the original video and didn't need to upload. Just an extra 10 minutes of black at the end. lol trying to pad my watchtime, jk. Cheers

[@sliced5]

Nice fly. Do you find that you get short strikes with the long tail?

[@PiscatorFlies]

Dave, Yes, you can get some short strikes. If I run into that, I just cut down the tail a little. I usually tie them long and only cut them down if the fish require it. Cheers

[@joaopauloferman1808]

ué o que aconteceu dos 6:40 para frente??? Muito bom o Vídeo!!!

[@PiscatorFlies]

Thanks, not sure why that happened, I'll have a look and re-upload this.

[@PiscatorFlies]

Obrigado pelo aviso, acho que foi consertado. Felicidades

[@evgrin1507]

Aquatic annelid. Deckles for days!

[@PiscatorFlies]

lol, you never gonna let that go.

[@marksleeper3752]

nice or what

[@PiscatorFlies]

Mark, thanks! I carry a few for when the water is running a little colored. Cheers

[@Boutros4g]
