Description
Learn how to tie the San Juan Worm, one of the simplest and most effective fly patterns for freshwater fishing!
This classic worm imitation requires only a hook, thread, and Micro Ultra Chenille, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking to fill a fly box quickly.
In this short fly-tying tutorial, I'll show you how to secure the chenille, form the body, finish the thread wraps, and carefully round off the ends for a more natural appearance.
I'm using a Risen Nymph and Wet Fly 9221 hook in size 12, Veevus 6/0 red thread, and red Micro Ultra Chenille.
I also like adding a little Solarez Ultra Thin UV resin to help secure the thread wraps.
San Juan Worms are popular for trout, but I've also caught plenty of sunfish on them!
For the complete step-by-step tutorial, including both weighted and unweighted versions, visit my YouTube channel, McFly Angler.
This is part of my Worms & Grubs fly-tying series, where we're exploring simple and effective patterns for freshwater fishing.
Now you go catch some fish!
