As many of us learned as young children with a spinning reel or cane pole in hand, worms catch a lot of fish. There are a number of worm species (both aquatic and terrestrial) that fish will actively pursue when given the chance. Worm patterns are particularly effective after rain storms or runoff when high flows kick the naturals off the bottom and make them available to feeding trout.
The Bead Head San Juan is just like the standard pattern, but with the addition of a little heavy metal to help it sink quicker. This is a tried and true pattern, and a go-to producer for any angler.
