Fish also wise up to seeing the same fly repeated; so l looked for other materials that would provide something different like San Juan worm type patterns which work well in high water. l found one that is a killer. Called Pearl Core Braid, it does add a new dimension to the typical SJW chenille worm. It adds a great deal more effect that in many ways looks very similar to what you would see on an earth worm with the shiny appearance that shows at times a very iridescent effect.
Mtn River fly shop should have the material in stock before too long. They also carry the flies that Tbird has tied to my specifications. — Davy Wotton
