A slight variant of Dave Whitlock's deer hair bass bug, this pattern can be an effective fly wherever big bass swim. While it's not a difficult pattern, it does take some time to tie.
Hook: #2-6 long shank
Thread: Green, brown or black, 210 denier
Legs: Green, brown or black rubber
Body: Deer hair, spun
This pattern can be found in Dick Stewart's "Bass Flies" available at: amzn.to/3ztGLF6

Savage Flies is a project with the mission of encouraging and teaching fly tying to as many people as possible. The channel is named after one of my western Maryland homewaters, the Savage River. I've been uploading three new tying videos a week, with the occasional extra video on other days.
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know in the comments if you have any tying tips you would like to share or if you have any patterns you would like to see tied here.
