Peter Appleby is undoubtedly one of the finest Stillwater anglers in the country. His out the box approach to angling has yielded great success on the competition circuit. He has come up with various fly patterns and methods over the years. This is the one he will most likely be known for the Apps Worm. He has a particular way of tying it and a couple of top tips on how to make everyone exactly the same. As well as a very cool tip on how to make the fly last longer.
Afternoon Lindsay. Looks good, more globrite 😊
Would not be without Glo-Brite ;-)
Pal I think Peter will approve. This was a textbook example of how this fly should be done. All the key points of how to start with the correct direction to place the floss, keeping the balance of all materials used. The combination of the slim dressing aids to avoid overkill and even when static the floss amplifies any movement in the water, the slightest twitch often induces a fish to take. Sealing the ends of the legs with a tiny bit of glue is more effective than using heat. Many examples are a heavy grub with floss or even worse silly legs.
Thanks Mick.
Well tied Lindsay....as you say Peter is precise in the tying of this pattern. He often fishes the bank comps at Thrunton and does very well indeed. He actually has used this pattern for salmon and sea trout and guess what.....it works. 👍
Also works for many coarse fish and mullet - a universal and very fishy fly
Peter is top class pal, his boys are pretty handy as well 😉
Is this pattern better without the beads on the body?
I am in the States (Pacific North West) and I've heard the term "sea trout" but don't really know what that means.
Showing my ignorance...
We have a coastal cutthroat trout species here that is semi-anadromous and a kick in the pants to fish for.
L66.Thank you for sharing this video, my friend. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩🤝👍👍 10:04
Most welcome pal👍
Certainly a different looking pattern, might have to tie a few to try on wild browns on our larger lakes. 🤔😀
Any tips on how they are fished?
Not sure it would work for wild Browns but you never know. It can be fished under the bung but I think it’s best on a floater with figure of eight or longer slow pulls.
Very clean. I don't think I've heard that we shouldn't use UV resin on Glo Brite. Thanks for the tip.
I keep hearing how good this fly can be. It has done nothing for me over the past couple years.
I've had conversations with Phil Rowley about it as well. He swears it can't be beat when they want it. My understanding is he fishes it very fast.
Sounds like you don't fish this that often. When you do, have you found a quick strip is best with this pattern?
Like most flies you have to determine on the day how the fish want it. I have had most success with a slow retrieve.
@@lindsayiflyfish I probably need to give them more of a chance. Sometimes it's difficult for me to cut off my confidence patterns.
@@TightLinesNW We are all alike pal.
What is the best way to fish this fly?
Floating line with a figure of eight retrieve or long slow pulls works for me.
Good morning Lindsay. Thank you for the feedback. I will give it a try next time I get the chance. All the best, Steve
