Micro Blood Worm
Aquatic worms live in most bodies of water, so having some in your lineup is important. This Bloodworm is tied on a unique hook that has proven to hold fish better than similar styles. The thin profile and durable coating help this sink quickly and stay in the zone, and it is incredibly easy to cast. You can fish this on lakes when fishing chironomids, as a dropper behind your favorite foam dry, under an indicator, or as part of your Euro nymphing rig.

FAQs
What does the Micro Blood Worm imitate?
The Micro Blood Worm imitates tiny red midge larvae—those little worm-like snacks trout find near the bottom, in soft sediment, vegetation, and slow-water zones. Midge larvae are simple, legless, worm-shaped forms, and red is one of the common colors anglers use to match them.
When should I fish a Micro Blood Worm?
Fish a Micro Blood Worm when trout are eating small subsurface food, especially in winter, cold water, tailwaters, spring creeks, slow pools, and pressured trout water. Midges can be available year-round and often matter most when larger insects are absent. Tiny fly, big attitude.
How should I fish a Micro Blood Worm?
Fish it near the bottom under an indicator, in a Euro-style nymph rig, or as the bottom fly below a heavier nymph. Keep the drift slow, natural, and close to where trout are feeding. Trout often hold near the streambed in slower current, so the fly needs to get down without dragging like it has somewhere better to be.
Is the Micro Blood Worm good for tailwaters?
Yes. Tailwaters often have strong populations of small aquatic foods like midges, and trout can get very dialed in on them. The Bug Book notes that tailwaters may have fewer insect types than freestones but can produce huge numbers of certain insects for long periods. That is exactly the kind of place where a tiny blood worm earns its rent.
What size tippet should I use with a Micro Blood Worm?
Use fine tippet that matches the water and fish pressure—often 5X, 6X, or lighter in technical water. Midge fishing usually rewards accurate casts, fine tippets, drag-free drifts, and small flies, especially when trout are feeding subtly in slow or clear water.
