Everyone needs a black bugger, a black ant, and especially a black midge! In this video we show you how to make the best use of your dry fly capes as we tie all three of these flies using the same product. Feel free to mix and match your colors and sizes for these flies, and make sure to watch the bugger portion of the video because there are some hidden gems to help you tie a perfect bugger every time.
