Description
San Juan Worm – a simple, high-confidence trout fly for all seasons
San Juan Worms are one of the most productive and reliable trout fishing flies ever tied. Modeled after aquatic worms found in rivers and streams, this fly is incredibly effective year-round—especially in tailwaters and slower-moving water. Its natural profile, simplicity, and movement make it a confidence pattern for both beginners and seasoned anglers alike.
Design / Features
The San Juan Worm is tied with soft, flexible chenille that mimics the look and motion of a real worm drifting in the current. Its minimalist construction ensures a natural presentation and durable performance through multiple hookups. This fly can be tied in a variety of colors, but red remains the classic and most productive option. Its lightweight build also allows it to be fished alone or paired with heavier patterns in tandem rigs.
When & Where to Use
The San Juan Worm excels in tailwaters, spring creeks, and freestone rivers where worm activity is common. It’s especially deadly during high-water events, after rain, or in off-colored flows when trout feed opportunistically. Perfect for indicator rigs, Euro-nymphing, or as a dropper, this pattern consistently puts fish in the net year-round.
