Description
The Zug Bug nymph pattern was invented by Cliff Zug in the 1930’s as a caddis fly imitation. It is an all-purpose fly the works well for multiple insects and situations - a prospector, dropper, and even as a wet fly on the swing. Easily one of the top 10 nymph fly patterns of all time.
Pro Tip
At the end of the drift don't pull out of the water. Swing the fly and hold off from retrieving for a few seconds to let the fly rise in the water column.
