San Juan Worm
Materials Needed:
Hook:TMC 2487 sizes # 14-18
Thread:Red 6/0
Body:Extra fine, red chenille
This is a very simple pattern that does pretty well in muddy water. I don't use this pattern as often as I should... This is actually my very first attempt at tying it as well.
STEP 1:
Start your thread, and wrap it to about the middle of the hook gap.
STEP 2:
Tie in your piece of chenille with a few tight wraps. Continue wrapping your thread forward around just the hook shank.
STEP 3:
When you reach the middle of the hook shank, lay your chenille down, and wrap a few tight wraps over it. Lift the chenille, and continue wrapping your thread around the hook shank.
STEP 4:
When you reach the eye of the hook with your thread, lay the chenille down and tie it in. Whip finish.
STEP 5:
With a lighter, burn the ends to length.
