Klewein’s, Shad Worm
Posted By Kent Klewein on January 25, 2010
Check out this bass and striper fly I designed last year for lake fishing. It moves a lot like a zoom trick worm in the water. If your fishing areas where you need the fly to be weedless you can add monofilament weed guards on the hooks. I tie them up both ways in case I’m fishing open water areas where weedless is not needed.

Behind a desk with shirt and tie,
each corrected paper–
another reason to cry.
I’m living in the low desert,
where winter’s rivers are inert.
In a long weeked’s span
I lesson plan
fishing, “When I can.”
But chasing summer’s forgotten steel
in February’s frost has little to no appeal.
So I cast a line on the Net,
with each click an attempt to forget;
it’s 5 hours to my home
on rivers full of cold, cold chrome,
where each cast is a lesson,
and nature is my teacher.
–That’s probably the worst verse I have ever composed, but I just wanted to let you know what’s going down on the west side. Hey, remember that time I stalked that wolf?
Lastly, that fly looks sweet. Is it stiff, or does it have some wiggle?
Sup Sam,
It’s great to hear from you man! How’s the prodigy fly fisherman been. Hope the teaching job is going well for you? You should have got your masters degree by now for sure, huh?
The fly wiggles very well. Especially if you don’t insert the glass rattle in the shoe string. Dude I’d like to plan a trip up by you and fish with you and TJ if you guys still hangout. I’ve wanted to do the popper gig for big trout ever since you told me about it. Any fishing would be great though. The very least you need to hit me up on Facebook if your on there. Give me a shout anytime man. I would love to catch up and see how things are going.
