"Winter's Worm" by Joe Cummings


Missoula Fly Fishing Video - Winter's Worm from Joe Cummings on Vimeo.
We are in the doldrums of winter, a few fishing videos coming out from time to time, I thought this one was alright. The "worm" gets a bad wrap from some fisherman and guides so I like the theme.
Nice work Joe.

During the November and December they ran a Flytying Contest, since I have been dabbling in 
steelhead and spey flies lately, I decided to submit a couple of flies. Both made it into the top 10.
I was humbled. Now it is time to go give them a tumble in the water in February.

Bookmark Swing the Fly and check it out every quarter.
