In this time of crazy synthetics and ultra-realistic fly patterns the classic White Leg Black Girdle Bug is sometimes overlooked. Anglers in the know, however, are still catching big brawny trout on this suggestive pattern. Fish it deep for a stonefly or you might even try stripping it like a bugger. The Girdle Bug may be an oldie, but its a goodie.

Pros: I fish this pattern a lot here in the mountain streams of SW Virginia. It never fails to take large trout. On two recent trips in June and July it produced the most fish of all the patterns in my box. Will occasionally use a size 4 Densmore shot to get it down in deep runs. I fish the size 10. Thanks for carrying this pattern as it is hard to find else where.
