Dirty High Water Fly Fishing - NEW Worm Pattern... Best Worm Ever??? - Code Breaker Angler
First off, BE SAFE, high water can present some serious life threatening hazards.. If the water is blown out bad and a raging river of death, don't chance it. No fish is worth putting yourself in danger!
I love the Squirmy Wormy, especially in high off-colored water. The problem is that Squirmies fall apart very easily and are not durable at all. My friend Devin Olsen came up with a solution, it's called the DNA Worm. About a million times more durable, and still has great movement. I may be switching over for good!
You can get the material for tying this pattern here:

I really like the Blood Red color.

      @@troutman007 thanks, my buddy Nic did a great job with this presentation. A big part of it is getting your flies down near the bottom where the currents slow way down. That your slighter/indicator should usually be traveling quite slower than the surface currents visible on the water’s surface.

      2.8mm or 3.3mm if you’re tying on a jig hook and want to up the weight. Either size works great, I tie 14’s with both so I have two weight options with the same size 14 pattern.

On this day the stone was on the bottom, and the worm was up on the tag.

    Stunning. And that bouncing caddis thing is just so cool. And your afternoon reminds me of a mind-blowing evening on the Provo back in about 1997 when the caddis hatch was almost too thick to see through as the sun went down and big brown trout's minds were exploding. Me and two other guys (strangers downstream whooping and hollering) were the only ones on that stretch of river and we were hooking monsters until long after it was pitchy black. I remember hearing them slosh back to the parking area around ten-thirty and I shouted, "Did you guys see that!!!???" and all I saw was two headlamps shaking side-to-side in the darkness in utter astonishment. "Holy sh*t what a night," one guy said.
