UGLY BUGS & How to tie them

 | By Seamus on 1/5/2022 7:09:00 PM | Views (215)

 


The UglyBug is a pattern I develped over the last bunch of guide seasons! 

Tie some, they are deadly, easy to tie and materials are easy to source.




Materials: 3/0 Danville (from NH) waxed color to match body
Squirrel dubbing from gray, red and fox with UV highlights. 
When collecting roadkills or bird feeder pests I freeze whole and shave
with a barber buzzer. The UV use little of this and that but REMEMBER:
LESS is MORE! 
Soft Hackle can be woodcock as shown, hungarian or hen pheasant 
Thorax/head a dark brown squirrel blend with black peacock uv


 Build up a thread base, the waxed thread helps hold the dubbing.                                         Dubbing loop and ruff it up to get that buggy look. If you get the dubbing right,                        the flash & fibers look very much like the air bubble on a hatching caddis pupa! 

 
Tie the soft hackle tip end first...wrap forward and then wrap thread back over the hackle
to fold back. All feathers have a natural bend, an inner & outer side...don't work against it.









Loose dub a head / thorax and wrap a couple thread wraps through it to firm up. 2-3 wraps

RUFF IT UP!!!! Don't be shy


The blend is like asking your grandmother for a recipe:) its a pitch of this and that
Keys>  small coffee / herb blender and a barber buzzer for 20 bucks. Frozen critter!
