Jig Tailwater Sow Bug
Cheech - September, 2019
If you are familiar with Lance's Tailwater Sow Bug, you already know that it is a staple across the western US, and has caught fish in many places. This is essentially the same pattern, but designed to accommodate a jig hook and a large bead for Euro nymphing. Watch the video as Lance shows us how to tie this simple bug.
