Inferno Bug Pattern Tie or Buy
When we saw the stunning intense colours of the Semperfli Inferno Biots and the Semperfli Intense Beads we knew we must try these in a fly pattern. In 2014 we went our with a variety of patterns and the Inferno Bug proved deadly, suspended under a bung, slowly retrieved and even resting on weed best Rainbow Trout hammered this cracking range of flies. Once we had over 100 fish on this pattern we knew we had to put it into production. For those of you that want to tie your own the pattern is below.

Slide on the bead to the eye of the hook | |
Tie on the Nano Silk and wrap down the body, tie in the Inferno Biots for the tail | |
Tie in 2 Peacock Herl (alays tie in 2 so it one splits another it tied in!). Tie in the 0.2mm ribbing | |
Wind forward the tying thread to behind the bead. | |
Wind the Peacock Herl to the back of the bead | |
Lift the Peacock Herl and tie in the end nearest the bead. Wrap the ribbing wire forward in open turns leaving the Herl protruding | |
Tie in the 2 Inferno Biots for the wings behind the bead. These will point upwards initially | |
With the remaining Peacock Herl wrap 3 times over the wings behind the bead. | |
Tie off the remaining Peacock Herl | |
You now have a deadly finished Inferno Bug |
Have had over 40 fish on my last 3 days out using the blue beaded inferno bug. 7 fish yesterday, 1 @ 7lb and 6 all over 4lbs. Superb pattern, must try and tie it.
At what stage do you wind on the gold ribbing - your instructions don't give any information!
My apologies -= You have included this at stage 6 - Wake up Graham!!!!
