Bloodworms

[flytier07]

Hi everyone-I'm in the mood to tie up a batch of blooworms, but wondered if apart from red, black and olive what other colours would work. I know grayling rather fancy pink, but would it work as a bloodworm and what other colours forumites may have had success with? Thanks

yellow is a good shout.

Lime green works with a fast retrieve!

Yellow and Lime Green sound great colours-can't wait to hear more ideas. Come on any more ideas fly tiers? Will tie up a few later when the footie's on. Maybe experiment with some other colours and see how they look.

I build up the hook with red thread into buzzer profile & finish with rapping red holographic
tinsel over the whole fly finish with two coats of varnish. magic!!

Try tying an App's in pink,olive,yellow and the ubiquitous red, they've all worked for me at some time or other. : whistle:

Hi flytier,

maybe this can give you some ideas:

Personally I like red for a "blood"worm tough. Or orange...

Did some experimenting last night-tied up all sorts of colour combos-even purple so next time I get out we'll see what the trout think of them or whatever else is interested
