When tying these. You should tie ones with a black or dark brown biot on top also. The rock will color up when it gets close to time for metamorphosis. In the winter I use all green and the spring and summer, I use ones with the dark front upper.
I like to fish these flies, dragging on the bottom. Sure I lose them, but I have found its the best way to fish a rock worm pattern. Well enjoy the video and tight ties! p.s. The light shade green sharpie is key, so dont forget to pick one up.

That's a nice version for that pattern. I missed the Fly Tying show. I was up in Northern Pa that weekend fishing. I actually caught most of my fish on the green rock worm. I enjoy the videos maybe we can meet up over the winter.
ReplyDeleteBrian,
