I had my first pink worm experience about 6 years ago, way before they were so popular out here. I floated the Sol Duc for the first time. The guide ask us how we liked to fish, and we told him we were pretty versatile, what did he find the most productive. He ask if we had ever fished with the pink worm?....after several cross-eyed looks at that funky bass worm...we ask if he was kidding. He said he had just gotten turned on to it and it was awesomely effective thru the bolder gardens on the Sol Duc.....well....about 50 yards into the float......fish on......and I been a worm dancer ever since.
