Both wet and dry fly fishing for Atlantic Salmon are productive. A salmon bug (or Buck Bug)can be used as either a wet or dry fly.It can be tied on a double hook and fished wet or tied on a single hook, treated and fished dry.

Tying a bug.

Attach the thread and lay down a thread base to the rear of the fly. Attach the wire for the tag.	Apply the tag and tie in the tail.
Tie on the floss with the tag end to the rear of the fly as shown. Wrap the floss to the rear leaving the tag end protruding.Pull the tag over the top of the floss. This will keep the floss from "falling off" the rear of the fly.Repeat step three with the red floss.	Spin one bunch of Deer hair.
Repeat step 5 as often as needed.	Shape the body, reattach the thread and tie on one or two hackles as shown.

Wrap the hackle forward, tie off and finish the fly.
