Squirmy Wormy

If there's one fly that consistently turns slow days into productive ones, it's the Squirmy Wormy. Designed with an ultra soft, lifelike body that pulses and wiggles with even the slightest current, this pattern perfectly imitates aquatic worms washed into the stream after rain or periods of high water. Its natural movement is something trout simply can't ignore.

The Squirmy Wormy is a favorite among guides because it catches fish in a wide variety of conditions. Fish it under an indicator, as part of a euro nymph setup, or as the point fly in a two fly rig. Whether you're targeting wild brown trout in the Driftless Area, stocked rainbows, or tailwater trout, this fly consistently produces when other patterns struggle.

Available in Green, Hot Pink, Glow in the Dark, Purple, and San Juan Red in sizes 10 and 12, there's a color to match nearly every water condition.

Bright colors excel in stained or off color water, while more natural shades can be deadly in clear streams.

First Watch Fly Co. Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to fish the Squirmy Wormy year round. While it's famous after rain events, trout will often key in on this pattern anytime they're feeding near the bottom. Fish it deep with a natural dead drift through runs, seams, undercut banks, and pools, keeping occasional contact with the streambed for the most productive presentation.

At First Watch Fly Co., every fly is selected because it catches fish, not because it catches anglers.
