How to tie a Dirty Bug Buckskin
Let’s be honest; some of the best patterns to tie are those that are simple and effective. The Dirty Bug Buckskin is an easy pattern that only requires three materials. This is a pattern that you can sit down and crank out as many as you need in a short time. The Dirty Bug Buckskin is a great white midge larva imitation when you tie it up in any size 18 and under. Otherwise, when you tie this pattern in bigger sizes, you will have an excellent caddis pattern that is incredibly effective in the summer months when caddis are being swept out from under rocks. Regardless of what size you prefer to use next time you sit down to tie, whip up some Dirty Bug Buckskins, and you won’t regret it.
