Surf Fly Red Worm – Hand-Tied by Lee Baermann
Lee Baermann is America’s finest saltwater fly builder. His patterns have caught just about every kind of fish in the California surf. Pick up some of his flies while you still can!
Saltwater flies work great in the surf. I like to fish saltwater flies on the Carolina rig with a 24″ leader. Cast in a fan motion and retrieve slowly, quickly and in a stop-and-start motion back toward shore. This is an essential lure for every surf angler.

This red worm fly caught a large surf perch during a morning cast. The action on the Carolina rig matched the natural movement of baitfish. It’s a reliable pattern for consistent results in tide pools and open shore.

Fished it on a 24-inch leader with a fan cast and stop-and-start retrieve. Got a few small barracudas. The fly holds up well in saltwater and looks realistic.

Highly recommended for California surf anglers. The hand-tied quality and natural color make it stand out in the water. I’ve used it in multiple tides and it consistently draws fish.
