A number of years ago Cathy Beck created her wonderful fly called the Super Bugger. It is a fly with a lot of body and movement that comes alive when in the water. I have been tying and fishing the Super Bugger for many years and have had great success bouncing this along the bottom of tail waters, pools and along current seams. I mostly target Smallmouth Bass but I know it also catches trout. Popular colors are Olive, Brown, Black, Tan and Burnt Orange. It is a easy fly to tie and in no time you can have a dozen for your home waters. -- Enjoy
