Have you ever fly fished in farm ponds? Did you see those big ugly bugs flying around and biting the cows? The Purple Cow Bug is a good imitation of those bugs. It has a purple body, black hackle, purple Marabou feather tail and white rubber legs with wild eyes and a bulls eye on the bottom for the fish to zero in on. Using a Mustad hook it is similar to the old Round Dinny once made by the Accardo Tackle Company. Hook size 8 and 10. Try it, you will like the results. #breambugs
Adult largemouth bass prefer to feed on small fish. However, they also are known to feed on crayfish, insects, frogs and even small aquatic birds. At BreamBugs we have fly fishing lures to match all of their foods. For example, crayfish, insects, frogs, Pultz Camo Frog Regular Hook, baby birds, Pultz Baby Red-Winged Blackbird Fly Fishing Popper. These are just a few of the fly fishing lures you will find under Bass on the BreamBugs site. #breambugs
At this year’s BreamBugs annual outing at Rainbow Trout Ranch, Rockbridge, Missouri, technical staff member David Miller received a water color painting of him catching a trout at last year’s outing. This painting was done by artist Bobby Walters of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The largest trout caught this year was 3.8 pounds. The most productive flies were black wet flies, Black Woolly Bugger and the Black and White Marabou Skunk.

Studies show that the Mulberry is one of the Carp’s favorite food. This Mulberry Carp Fly is designed to look like an enticing meal for Carp. The Mulberry Carp Fly from BreamBugs sinks slow. See all of our poppers and files at www.BreamBugs.com. Do you have a favorite carp fly? We would enjoy hearing from you!
Good question! Apparently, E. H. Peckinpaugh did when he started making poppers back in the twenties and thirties, with with Peck’s Lures. As well as Tony Accardo of the old Accardo Tackle Company. These red dots are sometimes referred to as “blood dots.” They are thought to excite the fish causing them to strike the lure. What do you think? We would enjoy hearing your thoughts: info@breambugs.com
