Fly fishing a zug bug in Prospect Park




Yes, he jumped out of the water!  It was dusk and light was disappearing fast as I stood
on the west side of the lake this evening.  I was casting one of my favorite flies, the Zug Bug.


Most evenings when I fish this part of the lake bluegills like to hold about twenty feet from
shore.  If there are no turtles around, I can catch a few BGs.  If I stand between the trees, I can even
Belgium casts to get more distance. 


This evening was different.  I hooked a "club size bass " with a Zug Bug.  It, the fly,
got into the cartilage of the jaw and held until I got the fish to shore.
