JimmyD, Thanks. I don't know if these were tied to imitate the specific worm I saw, but my version would be a very clean, non-fuzzy fly- like a garden worm. If there was a sinking foam, it would be perfect shaped in a tapered segmented tube. I'm thinking of a tiny rolled laytex cigar-shaped deal, tying just the head to a small hook and letting the body move in the current.

They were using Colorado meat rigs, i.e. fly rods with automatic reels and mono line, with split shot and either a crawler or a rock worm. I gave the little guy some flies which included a scud, and he proceeded to catch a 3-lb sucker and an almost 5lb carp on the scud. The night before he caught and landed a 2.7lb brown on a rock worm larva. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
