Field Notes

A San Juan worm style fly is effective when trout are feeding on worms or other drifting food items. Fish it dead-drifted near the bottom in streams, especially after rain, runoff, or high-water conditions when worms get washed into the water.

Pros

  • Simple, proven trout pattern
  • Works well as a dead-drift fly
  • Effective in stained water and runoff

Cons

  • Can be less effective in very clear, heavily pressured water
  • Best results usually require a natural drift
