Flies

Glo Bug

by LiangLishan 10 Jun 2025 0 Comments

Glo Bug

Designed to mimic fish eggs or roe. It's known for its vibrant colors, which trigger predatory responses in various fish species.

How it's tied
The Glo Bug is tied on a short-shank, heavy wire hook, usually in sizes 6 to 12. The body of the fly is created from yarn, which is tied in a small clump onto the hook shank and then trimmed into a round shape to resemble a fish egg.

Key features of the Glo Bug include its vibrant color and round, egg-like shape. The yarn used is often in bright, fluorescent colors, such as orange, pink, or chartreuse, which are highly visible underwater and can trigger a feeding response from fish.

The fly is finished off with a whip finish and head cement to secure the yarn in place and ensure durability. Though simple in its design, tying a Glo Bug well requires a certain level of skill to achieve the right shape and size.

What it mimics
The Glo Bug is designed to mimic fish eggs or roe, which are a natural food source for many fish species. Fish eggs are often released during spawning season, making the Glo Bug particularly effective during these times.

Where it's used
The Glo Bug is commonly used in rivers and streams, particularly during spawning season when fish eggs are naturally present in the water. It can be particularly effective in riffles and runs downstream of spawning areas, where eggs may drift in the current.

While the Glo Bug is particularly popular for targeting trout and steelhead, it can also be effective for other species that feed on fish eggs, such as salmon and grayling. The fly's bright color and realistic profile make it a go-to pattern during spawning season.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
