Fly of the Week: Rich's Ultimate Worm
Rich’s Ultimate Worm from Rainey’s is a great new fly that takes its influence from the conventional world of bass fishing. Tied on a 1/0 worm style hook, the fly is virtually weedless, and it has plenty of gap to drive the point home. It is constructed of a loose-jointed, tapered chenille that gives the fly an irresistible wiggling action as well as a suggestive tapered profile.
The Ultimate Worm is a fly with several applications. It’s no secret that bass love worms. Texas rigged, the weedless design of the worm makes it ideal for stripping through the weeds in search of that next eight-pound largemouth. This fly is also a great fly to bottom bounce in search of walleye. You can also strip it through the crystal-clear waters of British Columbia, with hopes of enticing an elusive bull trout.
The Ultimate Worm should be a mandatory fly in any bass box. However, it can also absolutely catch fish across the warm and cold-water spectrum too.
