Bumblebee

Bumblebee

Although not a common food source for fish, it's high contrast body make it a great attractor pattern.

How it's tied
 The body of the fly is created using alternating bands of black and yellow dubbing, or foam in alternating black and yellow, replicating the distinctive coloration of a bee or bumblebee.

The wing is crafted from white or clear synthetic materials, such as poly yarn or antron. These materials are tied in at the head and flared backward over the body, imitating the wings of a bee.

What it mimics
As the name implies, the Bumblebee fly is designed to mimic a bumblebee, or a bee. While bumblebees are not a common food source for fish, the fly's distinct color pattern and fluttering motion can trigger predatory instincts, making it an effective attractor pattern.

Where it's used
The Bumblebee fly is often used in small streams and ponds, particularly during the warmer months when terrestrial insects like bees are abundant. It's especially effective when cast near overhanging vegetation or under trees, where fish are more accustomed to seeing terrestrial insects fall into the water.

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).
