Glo-Bugs were developed and marketed by the Bug Shop in Anderson, California,
and are unquestionably among the most deadly patterns ever used for rainbow
trout, steelhead, and salmon in Alaska. This pattern is usually fished dead
drift as it bounces along the bottom. The standard Glo-Bug is available in
over 20 color variations, any of which may be effective at particular time
or place. When wet, the yarn takes on a translucent appearance and "feel"
which greatly increases its attractiveness to fish, but at the same time
frequently results in fish hooked deep in the throat or gills. Many fly
fishers have observed higher mortalities of released fish caught with
Glo-Bug than with other patterns.
