Bugly Worm

 
tied by letumgo
Fly Type: Attractor Pattern, Weighted, Wet, General Freshwater,
Target Species: Freshwater Bass, Panfish,
Recommended Region: Northeast US, Northwest US, Southeast US, Southwest US, Central US,
Imitation: Worms,
Material List:
Hook - Mustad C49S (Curved Caddis Hook) / Size 12
Tungsten Bead - Gold/5/32" Diameter
Thread - Red 6/0 UNI-Thread
Body - Two full length strands of FlexiFloss or Baby Bug Wrap (Twist the strands together and then fold in half before tying them in. The strands will naturally twist together to form a curly tail)
Legs - (two more strands of leg material cut into 5/8" long strands and twisted into a dubbing loop)
Thorax - Ice Dubbing

These are really easy to tye and they look like they will slay bass and panfish. The flies have a ton of movement and the little legs should create a lot of disturbance in the water as the fly is retrieved.

Tye them up in a bunch of different colors and give em a try.
Tying Instructions: Materials are listed in the order they are added to the hook.
