Stripers Eating Cinder Worms
Unlocking this hatch opens the door to big striped bass in the Northeast.

Saltwater Sportsman Staff
Updated: June 3, 2013
On the Hatch: The cinder-worm hatch triggers a ferocious striper bite in the Northeast, something eagerly awaited by area anglers.
Worm Imitations: Bass eat flies that imitate the cinder worms with abandon.
Cinder worms (Nereis limbata) are generally one to three inches long with an off-color — usually olive — head and a pinkish body.
Match the Hatch: Flies should resemble the worms themselves in both color and size for maximum effectiveness.
Deadly Combo: A cinder-worm fly trailing a popping cork will often elicit a strike when other combinations fail to do so.
