Yeah, what is an aero fly? I saw the tips page for rags, but don't know about this aero fly. Hey nickle chrome, look in the archived tips for an article on pink worms. It's a place to start.

Aeroflys are made over on the Peninisula. Piece of foam with maribou coming out of it. The center of the foam is tubed so you can slide it down your line. Typically drift fished.

Thanks for the info about the aerofly.
I have been trying that pink worm, drift fishing it, but no luck yet. As soon as I get my new rod, I am going to try those worms with a float.

I always fish the worm with a float, run about a 3-5' leader from a barrel swivel attached to your mainline. I just use 3 or 4 splitshot on the leader under the swivel (water volume and current speed dictate the size). I use a regular bubble gum pink worm from culprit(the bass guys), non squiggly tail, about 5-6" length. I fish current seams where the faster current meets slow current, keeps your float from rippin down the river out of control. I'm no expert but I have caught a few fish in the last 2 years since starting to fish the worm. Good Luck!!!

I like to rig my worms 2 ways, both require a threader. I like using scented Berkley Power worms. I instert the threader in the tail and thread it through the worm, I then thread it on to the leader so the hook comes out down in the tail section. I also use straight worms (no curly tail) and rig them whacky style. I instert the threader into the middle of the worm and thread to one end. I then thread it on to the leader so the hook comes out one end and the worm hangs sideways. This gives it a really nice pulsating action in the water.

Look for a tip on fishing the pink worm in the next issue of Salmon Trout Steelheader from Rainbow Jigs.

when I run out of eggs I cut off the last 1.75 inches of a berkley pink worm and fish it with a corky. (drift fishing)

You can e-mail them at rainbowjigs@aol.com with your address and they will send you a catalog. They sell a variety of Steelhead and Salmon jigs as well as Thill floats.
