How to tie a Zirdle Bling Bug
Let’s talk dirty for a moment, shall we? What happens with a Girdle Bug and Rabbit Zonker meetup after dark? They create a Zirdle Bug. You may look at this fly and think what? Or why? I say why not?! If you have fished either fly, you know their effectiveness. Why not take a step in the evolutionary direction and put the two together? This juicy fly might be just what you need for high water season. It is heavy and draws attention. The added Bling Rabbit Strip adds just the right amount of pop. Some say it imitates large stoneflies. Others say baitfish or craws. For me as long as fish are willing to slurp it up I will fish it.
