Everybody knows the Zug Bug. About 40 years ago my fly tying mentor showed us this variation. It has a separate abdomen and thorax and an unclipped wood duck wing. The tail is made from fibers cut from an area of a Peacock eye that I have not seen anyone else use.

I wanted to give it a little movement, so I substituted chickabou/grizzly marabou for the tail. It has proven to be a very effective stillwater fly. I've been calling it a Zug Bugger.

That is a great looking hopper flytire. I've been looking for a nice, simple deer hair hopper like that, I may just have to tie some up myself.

A couple of emerger/cripple flies (I don't really know the difference). Not too sure about the white wing, but at least I will be able to see them.
