Bass Bug Fly Fishing Flies: "The early European settlers of North America noticed that the local Native Americans practiced an early form of bass bugging to catch dinner. They used a long pole with which to throw out on to the water surface a collection of hair and feathers tied in a buoyant bundle which they then dragged across the surface of a warm water lake, pond or creek. Bass Bugging is not new. In the 1800’s only a few bass bugged. In 1900 no bass bugs were made commercially, but between 1910 - 1930 the sport really started with lots of assorted bugs on being offered for sale in magazines and tackle shops. Bass bugging became unfashionable just after world war two but regained popularity again in the 1970’s."
