Fly Description
The Zug Bug is an old-school, highly productive attractor nymph pattern created in the 1930s by Pennsylvania fly tier Cliff Zug. Designed primarily to imitate cased caddis larvae or freshwater amphipods (scuds), it is famously considered the older historical cousin of the Prince Nymph.The magic of the Zug Bug lies in its intense use of peacock plumage and brown hen hackle, a combination that provides a lifelike, iridescent green sheen and micro-movements underwater that trout find irresistible.
