Notes:

The Devil Bug is a great Brook Trout fly. I use it a lot and have good luck with it. I often tie it will green chenille instead of red chenille for the body. Tying it in green paid off big for me one day on Grand Lake Stream. It was one of those days when you could see Salmon feeding but they wouldn't take anything I threw. Finally, out of desperation, I tied on my green bodied Devil Bug. I didn't have much faith in it because, after all, it's a Brook Trout fly. You can guess the rest of the story - it worked well and saved the day. So, tie some up - red or green or BOTH and don't just use them for Brookies. -Mike
