DonO:
Although not related, they are often listed in fly fishing books in the same
chapter as hellgrammites (dobsonflies, family corydalidae).
Looking at the picture you noted, I see hellgrammite w/out appendiges......
Just a thought

The worm-dunkers swear by these for live bait. A good fly should work also.
Working on it.

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.

On page 234 Perrault's Std. Dictionary of Fishing Flies I found two
patterns for the Rock Worm. Neither of these were the green version.
Hope this helps.

Met a guy dunking worms with his 8 yr old son, and struck up a
friendship. 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.
