Description
The Diving Bug Frog Fly is a great bass or pike fly for fly fishing to fish hanging in the top few feet of water. The frog-colored version brings out the feeding instincts in many warm water predatory fish and can be especially effective for flyfishing in clear water situations.
Pro Tip
Fish the Diving Bug Frog in areas where frogs are naturally active, such as near lily pads, weed beds, or along the shoreline. Use short, sharp strips to make the fly dive beneath the surface and create a popping sound as it resurfaces, mimicking a frog's natural movement. Allow the fly to rest between strips, letting it sit motionless on the surface—this pause often triggers strikes from predators watching from below. For added effectiveness, target low-light periods like early morning or dusk, when predators are most active.
