{{+1}}Black epoxy bugger – silver TBH, UV spine & red butt{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is my take on one of the flies that was promoted by our 2018 Northern Ireland Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships team guild as being a productive fly for use in the lakes that we fished there.
Because of the lack of body dressing and the epoxy body this fly sinks quickly and apparently is great option for stocked rainbows in particular.
A streamlined fast sinking fly that will anchor your team. | The UV mirage tinsel is just a fine line along the spine but is enough to ensure that the fly is seen at darker depths. |
