About the Morgan's Bloodworm Trout Fly

A deep-water pattern from Morgan's Buzzer series The Blood worm completes the cycle of the buzzer (chiromamid). Although a good basic pattern which performs well, I would refer you to my good friend Arthur Cove whose pattern incorporates red rubber balloon strips. This is very deadly. Basically on days when nothing is on the surface, a bloodworm fished on a long leader and allowed to sink to the bottom will often score.

Expert Tip:

Trevor Morgan is one of the most innovative of fly fishers of recent times. In addition to designing a complete range of salmon, stillwater and river trout rods, he has designed a new concept of fly line – the Javelin. In addition to these he has created seventeen new patterns which have had notable success all over Britain, Ireland, Belgium and Holland. The word is still spreading!
