I can’t believe you don’t catch fish on Walt’s! It’s one of the few flies I have success with in every type of water around the world I’ve fished for trout.
I can see this being a super durable pattern. Especially given the Walt’s worm is such a heavy fly.
Great looking variation of a deadly fly. Thanks!
Used this idea but on a firehole 316 and took the thread down a bit to get a hot spot butt as well. No idea why it worked, caught 27 fish over 2 mornings on the middle deschutes, 22 with this, 5 on the thread frenchie. Thanks for the video!
Will be fishing this one in the Spring! :-) Mostly in northeastern waters.
Pink bead and UV flash Walt’s have been a real confidence fly for me
Nice variant! I caught 5 browns on a sexy walt's with a pink bead the other day. Maybe your fish need a little Victoria's Secret tossed their way to get their attention
This fly saved the day for me about a week ago on the lower Provo.. tied a bunch since👍
Love this! Ty Lance.
I can't find watery olive in 70D anywhere locally, but I have found 140D. It definitely doesn't fluoresce like regular semperfli white does. I'm not sure if that's just from the thread size, but no matter the amount it doesn't fluoresce.
@@electrontube yup. We’re anxiously awaiting our watery olive 70D thread. We’ve been waiting 2 years, but we’re hopeful 😂
@@FlyFishFood It'll arrive in the same shipment as the Swiss Clips
Ya know Lance I thought i was the only one who had trouble convincing fish to eat walt worms!
Lance I like your variation and you eliminated the 8-10 lead wraps, I guess to allow the weight of your tungsten bead to sink the fly, thank you, simple flies are best for me, because I am not sure if the trout really care if your fly has 5 or 6 extra materials,

I’m tying some up to use on spring creek. See if the browns like the pattern.
Super video thanks
Any suggestions on what you can use in place of watery olive? Can’t find watery olive anywhere
Have a spool of sulky and it comes off the spool in a twisted mess? any thoughts
I gave Walt young a few to try and he took them and put them in a container marked scrap flies meaning he was going to scrap them for the hook and Bead
Corey Stoner he emailed me and said he was going to tie red darts with the hooks
That doesn’t surprise me
What are the scissors that you are using? The blades look long, which is great.
Gary Slade they are Dr. Slick 4” tungsten carbide scissors.
any tips for blending the dubbing? I tried the same ones in the video & it doesnt seem to blend too well. The rainbow dubbing is kind of stringy. Do you cut it into smaller pieces or anything?
Delerium89 you can pull the dubbing out of the bag and kind of preen it to the same length and then cut it in half. Repeat as necessary to get the fibers to a shorter length and then mix.
Coffee grinder is key!
@@BlueBloodCstm I'm using a coffee grinder
Now throw a a highlander green tag, black bead, slf squirrel dub and rib with copper and call it a cased Caddis then it works. But, if I call it Walts anything the fish ignore it.
He's right, Waltz never work, anywhere.
I think your problem is that you fish a Red Dart!!
Ask CHEECH to show You! 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣
Leave it to Egan to tie someone's fly and add a color and call it his own. Try coming up with something original!
Yup. He will be reprimanded. We SPECIFICALLY told him to call it the Sexy Lance’s Worm. We appreciate your diligence.
Well, David Ross, did you watch any of the video? Clearly you didn’t, because if you did you’d know that the first things mentioned in the video state that this is a variation of a well known pattern. Nobody is claiming this to be a new pattern. Just a variation of a standard. This one happens to work for me when other Walt’s worms go fishless. Try it if you’d like. If not, carry on.
