Gully Worm

The Gully Worm is a well-known fly pattern thought to have originated in Alberta, Canada, particularly in the Caroline and Raven rivers. This versatile fly has also gained widespread popularity in the lakes of British Columbia, where it is primarily used to target both smallmouth and largemouth bass. The fly mimics a variety of prey, including worms, leeches, and other bottom-dwelling creatures, making it highly effective in both river and lake environments. Its design is simple yet impactful, featuring a lifelike, elongated body that produces a subtle yet irresistible movement when fished. The Gully Worm has stood the test of time due to its effectiveness in enticing bass, especially during periods of active feeding along the bottom or near structure.

Adjust the Depth Based on Water Conditions: Depending on water clarity and the activity level of the fish, you may need to adjust the depth at which you fish the Gully Worm. In clear, calm water, fish it closer to the bottom. In murkier conditions, you can try fishing it slightly higher in the water column for greater visibility.
