Two years ago I hooked into three fish in 5 casts on a white plastic worm. A guy fishing the same run at the same time with pink worms didn't get a single hit.


milo, what was the water visibility and temperature like when you hooked those 3 steel head using white worms?
Was it low viz high water or clear low water situation? Just curious as I am experimenting with different colour worms. :)

I have found white worms work better in clearer water or a slight green colour, but in grey water they dont really do much

My new go to is the Roe fly... been using is on the stamp/somass/vedder with huge success.
Tied it up about a month ago, used it on 6 trips so far and has hit 6 steelhead and a few rainbows. 5 of those Steelhead were behind guys using prawns/roe.
Def something I will be carrying around at all times, especially on bait ban systems.

--if others on the water.... whatever they aren't using... same rig different colour or different rig
--I use compleat angler soft plastics... full variety of colours.. egg Klus-Terz, Egg ohzs, wing-dings etc.

--Can use the Klus-Terz in a row bag with scent where bait is legal
