Fly Review: Le Bug

This is a productive pattern to have in your fly box.  I've had hits on this all year round.  I'll never forget the huge hit i had on this fly in the middle of winter.  The trout ended up getting off before i could land it, but it looked like a nice football! Use this as a dropper and the trout will be all over it.  I have a few in the black and orange colors in size 18 that seem to work well for me.  The Le Bug works best when fished right off the bottom.

    John, I'm really digging these fly reviews. It's good to see what other people use, and get some new ideas. This one in particular looks great, kind of like a zebra midge with soft hackle. Bet this is dynamite on the EB.

    Hey eric,

    Thanks! I figured I would post up some of the fly patterns that have produced trout in the area. The Le Bug is a real buggy pattern that the trout seem to really zone in on. If i see you on the water, i'll give you one. I carry about 8 of these in my fly box.
