How to tie the Liquid Lace Bloodworm with Steve Cullen


When you’re craving simplicity, it pays to keep the tying just as straightforward. That’s exactly why Steve is walking us through his Liquid Lace Bloodworm, a clean, uncomplicated pattern that delivers far more than its modest materials list suggests. Bloodworm patterns are simple, often tied with only a handful of materials, but don’t let that fool you. When it comes to effectiveness, bloodworms are a staple in Trout's diet & these imitations are absolute killers on small stillwaters, reservoirs and lochs alike. 

What sets Steve’s Liquid Lace Bloodworm apart is its profile. Rather than the long, trailing tail typical of most bloodworm imitations, this version leans closer to a classic buzzer pattern. By ditching the worm-like tail and opting for a more compact, buzzer-style silhouette, the fly takes on a subtly buggy appearance, finished with a neatly dubbed thorax. The result is a versatile pattern that bridges the gap between bloodworm and buzzer, simple to tie but deadly in the water.

All materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre or Edinburgh Angling Centre and are listed below. As always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes, we'll be happy to help.
