How to tie the Apps Worm. Originally designed as a bloodworm (Chironomid larva) pattern Peter Applebly's Apps Worm has fast become one of my favorite stillwater fly patterns.
Fellow stillwater fanatic Rhys from Rhys's Fishes convinced me to give this fly a try a few years ago, and I have never looked back. Check out the links below to Rhys's channel and his Apps Worms Tying videos.
You can fish this fly under an indicator, retrieve it slowly using cast and retrieve techniques or strip it fast to trigger a reaction. A superb fly that belongs in every stillwater fly box.

It worked on my local small pond! 10 minutes of fishing and a nice rainbow took it. Thanks

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Thanks. I am pleased to hear that the Apps Worm worked for you too. Cheers, Phil

I have supplies to tie this worm. Your video has renewed my interest. I plan to use it for Yellow Perch through the ice. Last year after cleaning my perch, I found the bottom of the bucket to be covered with fat red bloodworms. I'm picturing this a a red bloodworm cluster that should entice the perch like they hit the "motherlode" of bloodworms. The easy meal. Thanks!

Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to post your comment. I am pleased to hear that my video has inspired you to get behind the vise once again. This pattern was originally designed as a bloodworm pattern, but it also fishes well when retrieved at pace. Any fish that likes bloodworms in its diet should love this pattern. Cheers, Phil

@wvlongshooter3912 Год назад

I tie this with lead wrapped on the hook to get it a little heavy but not too heavy. Great content, thanks!!

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

You certainly could. I used a bead head version on a jig hook in Argentina with great results. With this version I leave it unweighted and let my fly line get the fly down. Cheers, Phil.

@lucascook3730 Год назад

Thank you, can't wait to try it!

@garydrummond568 Год назад

Great vid 👍🏻 It’s a deadly pattern, caught so many fish on this and the amber and olive versions.

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Thanks Gary, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed my video. I love the amber version too. One of my favourites. Cheers, Phil

@notmissingout9369 Год назад

It’s a great pattern I fish it a floating line pulled back different speeds to find out how the fish want it I had 20 rainbows in a day on it

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reach out to me. I am pleased to hear of your success. It is a very versatile pattern that can be fished in various ways. Cheers, Phil

@miked.r.6671 Год назад

Yes, I have seen this pattern when exchanging some chironomid patterns with a swiss fellow on the water this season. He laughed when I asked what the heck those dangly looking spider things are in his box. I did notice he had some in hot orange & chartreuse as well that he "experimenting with" he claimed. Then the guy trolling a red spratley seemed to be into fish. I dont even own a red spratley, but I will tie up a few of these Dangly Looking Spidery things..... the "Apps Worms"

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Thanks, there are lots of color options to consider with this pattern. It's always a good idea to have a few in your box as something different to try when the exact match the hatch stuff isn't performing. Cheers, Phil

@peredavi Год назад

Looks great. I was preparing to tie some squirmy worms. I’m going to try and get some sexi floss and tie these. I’ve caught some nice trout in northern Wyoming with worm flies .

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Thanks, I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed my tying video. The Apps Worm is a great fly. I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. Cheers, Phil

@rolyatecnal Год назад

Good looking pattern indeed. Looks deadly, will have to tie some up, it's been awhile Phil. 😊

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed my video. It has been a deadly pattern for me! Cheers, Phil

@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy Год назад

have you subbed the superglue with sally hansen's hard as nails?

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

You could. The originator of this pattern, Peter Appleby, used superglue as he felt other coatings changed the body colour. I was following the recommendations of the original tyer. Cheers Phil

@timkern177 Год назад

I might have to give it another try. I tied a few up a couple years ago and have yet to catch a fish on one.

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

How were you fishing it? I have had my best success using brisk 4-6 inch strips with a pause. I did really well with a bead head version in Argentina. I will be also be featuring that version too. Cheers, Phil.

@timkern177 Год назад

@@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Hey Phil. I tried faster strips and then also hand over hand. I'm sure I tried a slow retrieve to a couple of times but I never got a hit on it and kind of figured it was more of a "Stocker" fly. I'm going to give them another try this spring.

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

@@timkern177 Like any fly they work sometimes and not others. I have caught trout in Alberta, BC and Quebec in this colour scheme, red and amber. As with all attractors they do work well on stocked fish but I have caught some pretty large fish too.

@glentew953 Год назад

Hi Phil. Thanks for sharing! If I can ask, whom do you obtain your glo-brute through? I have tried finding it unsuccessfully. Also, you tied another pattern using fluorescent white glo-brite floss and I’m unable to find that either. If you could share the supplier so I can obtain both! Thank you very much Phil!

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. If you check out the description of the video you will see I have placed links to where you can find all of the materials. There is a link to Glo Brite Floss there. I do this for every fly I post. Cheers, Phil

@johnthomas5806 Месяц назад

works for crappie too.....

@PhilRowleyFlyFishing Месяц назад

That’s great to hear. I will be trying it in a few other species too. Cheers, Phil.
