San Ron Worm

I saw this on Craigslist tonite while searching for something else. Why bother to tye it on? Just stick a hook thru the middle like all of the guides did back in the 80's when it first came out.

It is not a "legal" fly on any water that bans soft plastics.

No kidding. It's a freaking fly rod Senko. Anyone could literally "make" these. Why anyone would drop $15 on a dozen of those turds needs to re-think some life priorities...

However if you look at the ads pictures, some SERIOUS Gill raping going in. For reak, I love fly fishing but that just pisses me off.

Was that one guy nymphing with one of these with at 8wt.?

Ive never understood why people hold trout that way- even if you are going to keep the trout- why hold it by the gills?

It keeps them from flopping around......

I think that's a fly tied with tentacles from a kids toy.

You may be right, I thought it was one of the "cheese worms" that have been around for a long time.

There's kids toy that is basically a ball covered in those. I've seen some flies that use the tentacles.

So does whacking them on the head with a rock. Might as well at that point.
