Glo-bugs

[Zach Matthews]

I am hitting the vise again, and I’m trying to find a way to tie glo-bugs that doesn’t end up looking like a mangy former NBA star’s $10 haircut.

What is your method for tying glo-bugs?

Zach,

I have messed with eggs for a long time having spent the greater portion of my life fishing steelhead in Michigan.

Thank you Tim and Ian.

Keep the egg yarn, it works better than McFly Foam for the veil on nuke eggs.

Most of my friends make fun of me for having too round of eggs.

I’ve heard/seen Tim break many a thread binding these down.

I’ve never tied an egg pattern simply because I never fish them (not an elitism thing though, just with as little trout fishing as I do I’ve never had the opportunity), I’m kind of surprised to hear there are so many variations, I thought it was all pretty much one basic style.

Anyway since you guys are talking about breaking thread I think you should give mono thread a shot.

There’s no cutting this McFly Foam, even with kevlar thread, Carter.

That is a good name.

I am no egg man either, l have a deal about certain flies to be honest, just my way based on how l got into fly fising in the 50s.

So far as thread,
