The Green Weenie talk here is about a popular fly in Pennsylvania & Delaware. It is tied on a 10-14 hook either standard or 2x long nymph or streamer. Simple to tie,chartreuse chenille tied in at bend,create a loop behind bend then run chenille to eye and tie off. Can be weighted or unweighted,with or without bead head
Not the one we fish and tie! It is specific to Clarks Creek above Harrisburg, PA. It imitates the inchworms on the hemlocks there. The pattern is a #18 hook using flor. yellow micro-vernille wrap around the hook after a small loop is tied on top of the bend. I've watched fish follow this as it slowly sinks (I don't weight it) and they will swirl around it, not always take it but show great interest. Many variations with size, color, beads but that is the original to my knowledge and what it represents. The loop seems to give it movement and help interest the fish. My daughter caught 70 bluegills at Don Yelton's pond near the Yok one summer on this fly.
