Bug Tying Weather

Trout do like tend to like dark days, but it has rained enough over the past few days that I think the streams might have gotten a bit out of whack, and through the winter, a couple of days of steady, cold rain can sort of keep the trout from ever waking up.

Maybe those are excuses. Maybe it just seemed cold to me to walk up a creek.

One way other the other, today seemed like a good day to stay home, and a Saturday at home typically is a good day to convert jigheads, fur and feathers into critter imitations or attractors that I hope will draw the interest of trout, smallmouths and other fish. Some will work. Others probably will not. Either way, Ugly Bugs are fun to tie, rain or shine.
