little better pic

Nice work, Austin, especially the wings. Did you use anything under the deerhair to bulk up the body?

Dry fly dubbing. I didn't have any yarn and i thought it might positively impact the buoyancy

I hope my work here is appreciated this may very be well the greatest assemblage of "devil" themed music videos ever posted on a fly fishing forum (in amerika)



by the way, great job Austin & everyone else...these things are harder to make than they look which may very well account for the devil moniker.

Great job Austin (I hate you :)) Looks like you flared in some extra hair for the wings. Good idea.

As promised, here's my #16 Devil Bug. This is a no wing version. I think they'd come out better if I wasn't using 3x long hooks, but that's all I have right now.

dude, dont feel bad...I dont have the huevos to post pics of the junk I've been tying onto a hook

PondBass that is art jumping off the vise! A+!

I hit upon something that I want to share with you all. Let me get some images shot and posted. It's devilishly simple. BRB.

But you have been doing a wonderful job compiling Devil music. Dusty, I did do 3 wraps and hold hte hair while tightening. Doing and doing well are two different things. I do collect VA disability for a partially paralized left hand, I'll blame that.

Mike, did you miss this one, or did I miss the post?

My first attempt; ugh


Second attempt: Kinda Muddlerish


Then my Muse, who had been hiding up in the ceiling fan, hopped down and smacked me in the back of the head. Why not give the fly a little push? Move some more water? And simpler to tie to boot?

Tie in the tail, come forward and snip off all but a little bit and then tie it off and you get this:





These are on #10 Mustad 3366s. So easy to tie, and they ought to be great panfish flies.

Now I will try again to do a real straight up Devils Bug.

Excellent post, now time for your whiskey medicine

First attempt

On a Tiemco 5262 2X size 10. Added some ice dub for the belly, needs a little wild hair trim too.

I tried one with the rear tied first. I prefer starting at the front - better to know where the eyes is.

I can see how that would work a little better, as I was just following the herd.

Care for an olive with that?
