由 Dawn patrol The Glo Bug mimics fish eggs or roe, using vibrant colors to trigger predatory instincts in various fish species.
How to Tie the Glo Bug
Tied on a short-shank, heavy-wire hook (sizes 6–12), the fly features a yarn body trimmed into a round, egg-like shape. The yarn is typically bright fluorescent—orange, pink, or chartreuse—enhancing underwater visibility and triggering strikes.
A whip finish and head cement secure the yarn, ensuring durability. Though simple in design, achieving the perfect shape and size requires skill.
What It Mimics
The Glo Bug replicates fish eggs (roe), a natural food source for many species. It excels during spawning seasons when eggs are abundant in the water.
Where to Use It
Ideal for rivers and streams, especially near spawning areas where eggs drift downstream. Target riffles and runs for best results.
While primarily effective for trout and steelhead, it also works for salmon, grayling, and other egg-eating fish. Its bright color and realistic profile make it a must-have during spawning season.
