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.

Wind forward the tying thread to behind 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

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.
