Really the only thing that is super easy to change up with this fly is the colors and sizes of the pattern. One thing that can be fun and work really well is using a different colored material for the front than in the back. If doing this, try using a natural color like brown, tan or red mixed with an attracting color like pink, purple or yellow. This will give a nice contrast to the fly in the water and might give them something different than what they are used to seeing.
This is a great worm pattern to use in heavy water, or when you need to the fly to sit on the bottom. The two weights up front won’t let this fly mill about while sinking, and gets into the fish’s face very quickly. This is a good pattern to have during runoff seasons, or high, off-color water.
This fly is best fished under an indicator, as the two beads will sink most dry flies. If you tie it in a jig format, this could be an effective point fly for euro nymphing, just be aware of the excess weight with snags on the bottom. Try to get the best dead drift presentation for best results.
