Description

The Green Weenie is a simple yet highly effective fly pattern that imitates inchworms, caddis larvae, or other green aquatic insects. Its bright green body and subtle movement make it a standout fly for trout, especially during summer when terrestrials are active. It’s a versatile pattern that can be fished as a nymph, emerger, or even a terrestrial in small streams or larger rivers.

Pro Tip

Drift the Green Weenie along undercut banks or through riffles where inchworms and larvae might fall into the water. For added effectiveness, give it occasional twitches to mimic a struggling insect.
