About this fly
Catalpa Worm – Created by Mike Verduin The Catalpa Worm is a distinctive fly pattern used in fly fishing, particularly effective during the summer months. It mimics the appearance of greenish worms that fall from catalpa trees, enticing various freshwater predators. The pattern is made from soft, buoyant materials that create a gentle, undulating movement in the water, making it particularly alluring to fish. It is commonly used in both fly and bait fishing strategies, making it a staple in many fly boxes.
