Squirmy Worm

The Squirmy Worm is a simple yet highly effective fly pattern designed to mimic aquatic worms or earthworms that are washed into the water during high flows or rain events. Its soft, elastic squirmy material provides lifelike movement, making it irresistible to trout, bass, and panfish. The Squirmy Worm excels in both rivers and stillwater and is especially productive during runoff or after heavy rains. Keep red, black, and brown at all times.

Fish the Squirmy Worm under an indicator or as the lead fly in a two-fly rig to get it into the strike zone quickly. Use it in high, dirty water conditions or after rainstorms when natural worms are likely to be in the drift. Allow the fly to dead drift through seams and eddies, and add weight as needed to keep it near the bottom. For added versatility, try different colors like red, pink, or chartreuse to match the mood of the fish.
