These are all my take offs on pre-existing patterns. 1. Simply called "The Worm" It is just a Wooly Worm tied on a nymph hook to put a curve in the body. And there is no tag. 2. Just a Wooly Bugger with bead chain eyes in olive to imitate damsel/dragon nymph. 3. Nymph thorax/v-rib body/olive tail fibres make this a little more different dragon/damsel. 4. I call this "Lunch" A wooly bugger on a short shank hook wrapped in a cone shape no hackle with bead chain eyes and gold ribbed. On the stop of a retrieve it "wiggles". Bass seem to like them. 5. I call this "Captian & Chenile" a no wing dry with a chenile body (chenile comes in so many shades) because of the chenile it floats low...sometimes too low...

Rob,
Nice bunch of flies... I really like the Worm. What sizes do you tie it in? Any particular situation when you like to use it?

I tie it in a variety of larger sizes. The best time to use it is anytime ;D BUt after a rain alot of worms end up in the water and dead worms turn a very light colour (sometimes white).
