  • Size 4-16 jig hook, 1/32- 1/100
  • Florescent Green chenille
  • Florescent green thread .
  • Variants:Green Wormie(extended tail), Pink Weenie, Crystal Weenie

The Green Weenie was developed in Pennsylvania as a pattern to imitate a variety of small inch worms found in the spring and summer. How ever this pattern as proven itself as a general attractor pattern, a caddis pattern and a steelhead pattern.

For all intensive purposes the green weenie fished as a wet fly or a jigs effectively imitates a genus of caddis flies called Rhyacophila, locally know as the green rock worm. However is also is an effective imitation for several caddis in the family Hydropsychidae.
