Fly Tying Corner: Bear Worm

Fly Tying Corner: Bear Worm

Before we talk about the fly - click here to buy it!

 

The Bear Worm was inspired by a friend of the shop Brad (@flyin_bear on Instagram).  We were discussing how to use the hide from zonker strips.  He presented an idea, I tied up a couple variants of it and the fly was born.  He is credited with the name!  Make sure you check out his Instagram page for some beautiful flies!
