I'm interested in trying the pink worm under a float. I'd like to know the best times that it's effective. Riffles, pools, tailouts, high or low visibility??

Sturza,

Pink worms enjoy a broad spectrum of productiveness for steelhead. They do work a little better in medium to clear water though. They work well driftfished and also under a float (either on a jighead hook or a leader hook with proper weight at the mainline swivel - I prefer the jighead method). For some good tips on the pink worm, get the current Aug./Sept. issue of STS magazine and read both Bill Herzog's tips column and my Reel Truth column. - Steve Hanson
