The Squirmy Wormy is a modern fly fishing lure that's a variation of the San Juan Worm pattern. Dave Hise of Hickory, North Carolina invented the Squirmy Wormy in 2007 by replacing the San Juan Worm's super chenille with silicone tendrils from children's toys.

Squirmy Wormy flies are effective in both clear and dirty water and can be used to catch a variety of fish, including:

Trout

Grayling

Coarse fish like chub, dace, roach, or barbel

Carps, breams, and tenches

Predatory fish like perch and smaller pike

Here are some tips for fishing with Squirmy Wormy flies:

Short-range nymphing

This is the best approach for fishing through likely runs and pools. Trout often react strongly to the fly, sometimes pulling the rod out of your hand. Grayling tend to be more gentle.
