The Heavyweight Champion of Nymphs, Now Even Better.
If there's one fly that screams "big meal" to a hungry trout or bass, it's the Girdle Bug. For decades, this pattern has been a staple for anglers hunting for larger-than-average fish. Why? Because it imitates a big, juicy stonefly nymph – a steak dinner in the underwater world.
We took this legendary pattern and gave it the Rivfly upgrade it deserved. Meet the "Wiggle-Leg" Girdle Bug Jig.
- The Jig Hook Advantage: By tying it on a jig hook, we've solved the biggest frustration of nymphing: snagging the bottom. The fly now rides with the hook point facing up, gliding over rocks and debris where big fish love to hide. You'll spend more time in the strike zone and less time re-rigging.
- Action That Triggers Strikes: Those barred, wiggly silicone legs are the secret sauce. They dance and kick with every subtle current, creating vibrations and a visual trigger that predatory fish simply can't resist.
- Get Down Deep: The combination of a weighted copper bead and a streamlined profile helps the "Wiggle-Leg" sink quickly to where the fish are holding, making it a perfect anchor fly for Euro nymphing or a killer pattern under an indicator.
How to Fish It:
- Dead-Drift: This is its primary use. Drift it under an indicator or as the point fly in a multi-nymph rig along the bottom of runs and through deep pools.
- Swinging & Stripping: Don't be afraid to give it a little swing at the end of your drift or even strip it slowly in stillwaters for bass. The leg action is fantastic for these techniques too.
Whether you're navigating the bouldery rivers of the American West or trying to tempt a wise old brown trout in your local stream, the "Wiggle-Leg" Girdle Bug Jig is a must-have. It's not just a fly; it's a solution.
