San Juan Worm and Browns? - ChrisTheFish - 08-07-2010
This is a bit random, but every time I've used a San Juan Worm, I've noticed that I only catch Browns with it. Has anyone else noticed this? It might just be the places I've fished it, but was curious if anyone else has noticed this trend?

I have never done well witha san juan worm. I just don't have confidence in them. I should try them again.

when I was at utah state I used to fish Onieda narrows a lot. I used to slay the trout,some 50 fish days and the rainbows loved san juan worms especially in march,april. it could be fished as an attractor while nymphing a tandem rig. easy to tie ( 2 doz in 20-30 minutes) and they worked reliably well on the waters I frequented there.I should note that I tied them on smaller hooks than was the norm and that I'm fairly certain they thought they were midge larve.

To bead or not to bead that is the question?

I've done very well on the Henry's Fork this past year w/ them as a dropper. Both w/ and without a beadhead. I'll catch browns, cutts and bows on them so I often through it on when other stuff isn't producing.

The narrows are certainly San Juan territory. Had some incredible days up there using them. Caught bows and browns using brown, orange, pink and red San Juans.

If Michael Jackson had any opinion on the matter, I'm sure he would say "just bead it."
