Some are an inch or more in length. When I was a kid we called them Inch orMeasuring worms. They look like they are measuring as they hump up and then stretch out and do it again. Or you could say: They are inching along. Gary L Webb On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 7:12 PM, Wayne Blake-Hedges

A rope-dubbed hackle, maybe on GSP or mono (not that you need them over any other type of thread, but I just prefer to use the stronger things... call me paranoid...) is a great caterpillar fly. I can't speak for what size works for trout and bass, but the crappie and sunnies/panfish go for

Not sure about the green weenie imitating a caterpillar .  Usually they're tied either with lead wrapped around the shank or a black beadhead and meant to imitate the green rock worm or similar caddis larvae.  The green inch worm is usally tied with a piece of foam. The small foam cylinders
