Due to its simplicity, there isn’t a whole lot of room for variation on this Cinder Worm. Anglers can go for a wool-based head or substitute in zonker strips/squirrel strips for the body.
Beings as how this fly is essentially a “skeleton” streamer, there are some options to vary this fly that will greatly create diversity in your fly box.
This fly is truly mystical at the right place and right time for the striper fisherman. The Cinder Worm hatch, while rare, can provide some of the best fishing in existence for those who come prepared. It’s every striper fisherman’s dream to roll up on a flat with stripers blasting these worms in the peak of the hatch- it’s game on. If you like fishing coastal waters and have striper in your area, you need this pattern in your box in case the moment comes for you. Be sure to study and be prepared for this hatch ahead of time as well. Match and catch this hatch and you will be in fishing heaven. This fly is also versatile and can be used as leech or baitfish imitations in coldwater.
The most important component of catching fish with this fly is recognizing the hatch. The Cinder Worm hatch is rare to catch, but you’ll want to be sure you study up ahead of time and recognize when the hatch is on. If you notice the hatch and tie this on, you will catch fish. Additionally, the movement of this fly can make for great leech and baitfish imitations for freshwater fishing situations.
