Nov 12, 2007 · The San Juan Shuffle is where someone goes above a great fishing hole and kicks their feet around to stir up the silt and whatnot. This dislodges bugs and makes the fish start to feed. All you gotta do is drop the flies down into the hole and the feeding fish will grab it. Like. N.

When looking at the pattern, it is evident that there isn’t much to the profile or design, but in my mind, it makes such an effective pattern. The simplistic approach is critical. The small head and tail made from the burnt edges work perfectly, and the micro chenille gives the fly sufficient movement. As fly tiers and anglers, this is what we stru...
So, originally designed and tied in the 70s, Jim Aubrey needed a pattern to imitate the insects kicked up by the San Juan shuffle. Now seen as an unsportsmanlike like activity and barred in most places, Jim Aubrey knew he needed a simple worm pattern to cover most of the aquatic life kicked up.
Originally designed to target trout but knowing what it imitates or instead can suggest, it is obviously a very attractive pattern for many other fish species. Chub, Grayling, and Carp, to name a few.
With this pattern’s versatility, you will need to set up and fish it in a few various ways. Nothing too complicated but just a few changes that will help catch more fish. The driver- setup is the same as you would fish any nymph, really. A euro nymph rig or a dry dropper-style New Zealand rig are both excellent ways to fish. Czech style wouldn’t wo...
With the easiest and most basic of imitations intending to be the basic bloodworm which can be found on the bottom of a riverbed, the San Juan worm pattern has a few other suggestive qualities as well. The San Juan worm can also imitate a blood midge or various midge larvae in different stages as well. This is what makes this pattern so effective a...
I like to have a few versions of this pattern to use in certain conditions 1. Beaded San Juan Worm– this is the perfect weighted version of this pattern. I also like the bead more forward in the pattern. This just gets the hook point riding higher in the water. Fish the pattern in pinks, purples, and reds in sizes #14- #16. 2. San Juan Worm– this i...
All worm or midge patterns are super simple to tie, and if you do tie your own flies, they should be a breeze for you. Keep the hook gape clear and use those heavier hooks for the bigger eats. Suppose you don’t tie your own flies, no worries. I would recommend you order some from Umpqua. Or better yet, go off and support your local fly shop if you ...

Recipe
1. Secure hook in the vice 2. Start by wrapping a good thread base. If you choose to add a bead to the pattern, it is at his point you can slip it on and secure it with a few wraps. 3. Cut off your chenille. The length is up to you. Remember that you can always cut more off. Burn the edges and roll to create that black head point. 4. Starting from the back of the hook, secure the chenille with three tight wraps. Moving forward lightly, wrap forward towards the hook eye. 5. Whip finish off and...
So, there you have it. The San Juan Worm may not be the most attractive pattern or the trickiest to tie, but it sure does catch fish. In reds, browns, and greens, they all work so well! If you don’t have space in your fly box, make some or buy another box. You can’t hit the next mission without them. Tight Lines, All!

Hey Scott, what about the San Juan Worm and the San Juan Shuffle. Oh yes, the SJW is one of the easiest flies that you can learn to tie, see link below. The colors range from reds, oranges and brown. In the Southwest the worm is prevalent in the cold water and the fish love them. This is a wet fly and I prefer a sink tip line to deliver this ...
Oct 17, 2023 · The San Juan Shuffle is the act of kicking up silt and mud on the bottom and then drifting your nymphs along in the cloud. A practice that originated on the San Juan River in New Mexico, it is believed that the shuffling kicks up nymphs, worms, and other food from the bottom and causes trout to move in and feed in the drifting mud.
