Fulling Mill Nymph - Tungsten Squirm / Worm Wiggly Worm barbed

Some fly fishermen still think of the unpopular 'worm angler' when seeing patterns like that. Although the use of worms is present especially in the stillwater fishery for a long time now. And also on running waters worms (like the 'Vladi Worm' or 'San Juan Worm') are important in special situations: When the river is high and the banks flooded worms become an attractive food source for trout and grayling. In muddy/brown water their silhouette and movements are still able to seduce the fish. A great alternative to streamers!

The Squirm Worm/Widdly Worm is the latest step in the evolution of worm patterns. Here, it's tied with elastic silicon on the brilliant Tiemco 2488 hook. A tungsten bead helps to present the fly effectively in faster currents too.

Tipp: When fishing on a lake use it in combination with a regular indicator or a Bung fly. On the river try to present it like a nymph in dead drift. If that technique doesn't work, lift and lower your rod tip to add extra action to the fly. Best suited are long rods (10ft. - 11ft.) with a sensitive tip (#3 or #4) and the special nymph leaders by Soldarini.
