The Zug Bug was invented by Cliff Zug, of Pennsylvania, in the early 1930s and was a precursor to the Prince Nymph, the main similarities between the two being the peacock herl body and brown hen hackle. Both flies are deadly in certain situations.
Imitates:The Zug Bug was originally designed to imitate a case caddis or caddis larvae, but like many great patterns, it can imitate any number of aquatic insects and quite a few terrestrial insects. especially irridescent beetles.
METHOD
Stillwater - The fly pattern also makes a very good stillwater attractor as a dropper behind a woolly bugger or leech streamer. We believe the three peacock swards may also appear as the tail of a damsel nymph in slow waters or still waters
Running water - Fish the Zug Bug using the “high stick” method in faster runs. On slow moving streams, fish the fly pattern near the bottom as a dead drift.
