While in the doctor's office the other day I was skimming through some of the fishing rages in the waiting room. I'd noticed an obvious error on page 40 of the Spring Creek, PA article.
Walt's worm a favorite fly of mine and many others here in the east. It is a very simple pattern and very effective. It imitates a host of subsurface insects most notable crane fly larva.
"Eastern Fly Fishing" March/April 2010
Walt's Worm on page 40.
As you can see none of the materials are correct.
So here is the proper recipe:
Hook: Mustad 9671 size 10-16
Thread: 6/0 Tan
Weight: .015 lead wire
Dubbing: Hareline Hares Ear Plus #1
