How to Tie the Zug Bug, A Classic Nymph Pattern
The Zug Bug was one of the first nymphs I ever learned to tie when I was 14 years old. Some might say my fly tying skills haven't improved much since then, but that's okay. You don't have to be a great tier to tie flies that catch fish, and decades later, the Zug Bug still catches fish!
Here's the list of materials used in this video to tie the Zug Bug:
Hook: 2xl Nymph hook, the Daiichi 1710, https://precisionflyandtackle.com/col...
