Bugskin Flatfish (Baby Flounder)
My friend, Chuck Furimsky, founder and manager of The Fly Fishing Shows, is also the developer of Bugskin. It’s a thin leather product used in fly tying. Well, Chuck was cleaning a striper and found 3 baby flounders in its stomach. So what else could he do but tie a baby flounder fly? He found just the right leather and set out to build an imitation that could be used, jig style, on a fly rod. It’s almost too realistic. Great design, though. Forgive the photo, I only had a moment to shoot it before sending the fly on to Jason for a good shot that will go in our book, Long Flies, that will be out later this fall. And yes, I’m working on book 4–The Angler as Predator.
