This will probably get buried with all of the other posts on this
subject, but how about the presentation the fly itself makes? Up
until this year I was certain that the San Juan Worm tied with a
piece of Ultra Chenille lashed to a hook with both tips burned to a
taper was the only one to use. i had seen versions of the San Juan
made by wrapping a Mustad "All Around" style hook (this is a hook
that has a large hump in its bend and then the barbed part bends
abruptly and points straight toward the eye of the hook) with vinyl,
but figured something that stiff would never work. It just seemed to
be common sense that that the chenille would wave in the water and
look "wormy".
