As you can imagine the Coronavirus is having an impact on may small businesses, including BreamBugs. Many of our suppliers are having difficulties obtaining material to make their products. Please be patient, as we may run out of some of our products. But, we will do all we can to keep an adequate inventory. Even the Postal Service has gotten slower in making their deliveries, However, we here at BreamBugs, are working diligently to ship your orders as quickly as we can. Have fun fly fishing! But, be safe and WASH YOUR HANDS!
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. See all of our trout flies and our bluegill, bass, crappie and carp flies at www.BreamBugs.com
BreamBugs has developed a new version of the Popper/Dropper Rig. At the request of customers we now have the Popper/Dropper Rig with 10 Lb test leader. There are many advantages of the 10lb test. First, the stiffer leader keeps the two flies from getting tangled. Second, a 10lb test will help land larger fish. Find Popper/Dropper rigs under “Leaders” at www.BreamBugs.com
If you do lots of “catch and release” fly fishing you are aware of the advantages of barbless hooks. The main advantage, however, is that it will not hurt the fish and obviously its easier to remove the hook. BreamBugs has several barbless hooks to choose from. Here is a picture of my favorite barbless hook. Check out all of the different styles we have at: www.BreamBugs.com
