Ultra Zug Bug 12/10/2024 Photo Album
This simple yet effective fly was designed by Scott Sanchez. I found it in one of his fly tying books, and it has proven fairly effective in the subsequent years. To learn more about this fly click on this link to last year’s post, and that in turn provides a link to earlier posts.
One More Ultra Zug BugThis fly offers several advantages. First, it is very simple and can be tied quickly. Aside from the bead and hook, it only utilizes three materials; fibers from the body feather of a game bird for the tail, synthetic peacock dubbing (I use Ligas), and a strand of crystal flash for the ribbing. Of course you can substitute different dubbings, should you wish to vary the color of the fly.
