need instructions for zug bug

Recommended Posts

I know the zug bug is an easy nymph to tie up, but I still need instructions to make sure I do everything in the right order. I can't find a step-by-step anywhere on the net. Thanks!

Those are good links. I've used zug bugs a lot. I don't know about everybody else but I've found that a bead head is a must and I personally tie a sparser tail with 3 strands but a heavier body. I use gold wire and I keep the soft hackle beard shorter than the hook gap. I've also been able to make the fly last longer (and cheaper to tie!) by using peacock colored chenille for the body.
