| Wellsville, NY Posts: 142 | I am finding the discussion on "worm" flies quite interesting and informative. So, with all this worm talk, I thought I'd offer a tie of mine that is well worth the little extra effort it takes to tie it. It works quite well, contains no extra weight and it sinks quite well. Others, besides myself, that have fished it have had a great deal of success with it. Comments are welcome with hopes some will tie and try it. Rubber Band Worm Mark | |

| Milton, DE Posts: 64 | Ingenious! You are driving me to the vise. On another note, after my dad passed away I got a chance to take a peek in to his fly box. It was a cheap luan wood box from Japan with ridiculous flies that appeared to never have been used, except for a well rusted worm hook!! and laden with dirt. What a bubble buster. Dick | |
