The classic Walt’s Worm is already a simple and effective nymph, but this version adds two important upgrades: UV Peacock Ribbing for extra visibility and a natural squirrel thorax for more movement.
I use the split-thread technique to create a lively fur collar that pulses in the current and reacts beautifully when the fly is jigged behind stones. This small improvement often makes the difference, especially when trout and grayling need a subtle trigger to strike.
