Tryst

[Trevor K]

Can somebody give me some advice on how to tie a tryst pattern? I assume they're similar to a san juan worm, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure you spelled it right? I googled and did not come up with anything. I have not heard of a pattern by that name. Any more info?

They talk about them on the chartered waters website. They just call it a blood orange tryst. I tried to attach a pic from their website, so hopefully it worked. I was just wondering if there was a preferred method to get the orange part on

Looks like a simple San Juan worm. Attach vernille or micro chenille to hook at back, wind thread to front, wrap vernille to front and tye off. Burn ends with a flame of some sort. It is a pattern that I slay Longear Sunfish every spring with. I add a little lead wire to get it to sink faster. For trout, I leave it unweighted and fish it with a split shot.

oh yeah, I guess it is pretty simple when you explain it like that. Thanks for the help. For some reason I couldn't figure how to get the orange on, but now I feel dumb, cuz it was actually pretty easy

Everybody starts somewhere! I had to consult the net a few weeks back to confirm the best method to tye a marabou jig. I have been tying since the early 90's and never tyed a jig.
