Description

The Dirty Frig Fly is a masterfully designed weedless frog imitation that excels in heavy cover, where predatory species like largemouth bass, snakehead, and pike lurk. This pattern imitates a foraging frog, showcasing lifelike swimming and crawling motions as it navigates through thick vegetation, lily pads, or submerged wood. Its weedless design ensures snag-free fishing, allowing you to target fish in areas that are otherwise challenging to access.

Pro Tip

Fish the Dirty Frig Fly in shallow, vegetated waters during warm months when frogs are active. Use a floating line and work the fly in a slow, steady retrieve with occasional pauses to mimic a frog cautiously moving across the surface. Focus on areas near cover like lily pads or reeds, and let the fly rest in open pockets between strips—this often triggers explosive strikes. For added action, vary the retrieve to include short, sharp pops that imitate a startled frog.
