In this "Two Minute Fly Tying" video, I share the modern version of the Utah Killer Bug that I fish. This pattern is incredibly simple to tie, and I give a few tips that may help you out. Thanks to my friend, Tom Glass, for sharing this one with me. Also, shout-outs to Frank Sawyer and the Tenkara Guides! ;-)
If you have any thoughts or questions based on this video, please leave them down below in the "Comments" section or you can email me: tcammisa@gmail.com
Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice.

I’m one of the owners of Tenkara Guides LLC, the developers of the Utah Killer Bug. It is a modern variant of Frank Sawer’s Killer Bug. It is part of a family of wool yarn bodied flies we developed back in 2011. Another version of this fly is the Utah Killer Kebari. Add a partridge soft hackle behind the head. Works really well in slower currents. Use 2 wraps of a partridge hackle that has fibers about the length of the shank to the tip of the point.
We tie these from size 12-18. For 16/18 sizes, separate the yarn into 2 strands for a thinner body. Use one strand for the body.
Another yarn color that works very well is Jamesons Moorit. Great for water with small leeches.
One of my favorites! My favorite variation is to use a red wire underbody for weight and color, and a pink hotspot head. When the yarn gets wet, the wire underbody really shines, and has a beautiful translucent look that the trout can't seem to resist. It has saved me from getting skunked on high pressure streams.
Great suggestions, Cody, and I think I could do a few episodes on variations of this one! The translucency you referenced definitely relates to the original pattern by Mr. Sawyer, and I really appreciate you sharing it with others. Thanks for taking the time. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa I like the idea of a red wire underbody a lot. Would you use a heavy ultra wire (medium or large?) or something entirely different.
Seen this one a few times but not tried it. Just popped it into my to-do list! I couldn’t even guess how long it’s gonna take to tie up that list full! lol. Thank you for another one dude.
Ha ha, oh no!!! That list will keep you tying for years! Thanks for the comment, and shoot me an email when you tie one: tcammis@gmail.com Hope all is well! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great video Tim. Works great on the Little Lehigh in eastern Pennsylvania. And ya gotta love a 2 minute tie. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, and thanks for taking a moment to share. I spent some time fishing on your waters this fall...gorgeous and lots of fish! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Your channel is so great Tim! Great instruction coupled with the background of the flies, makes for a top fly tying channel and my personal favorite! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm honored that it's you favorite! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Funny to see it s the "Utah Killer Bug" when it's a sexy walt's worm.... :)
Ha ha, being in Pennsylvania, it's DEFINITELY a Walt's Worm. Though I have a feeling that Frank Sawyer (who created the Killer Bug in the 30's) would probably feel otherwise. ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Thanks Tim ...... I really appreciate and enjoy Your Tutorials !!!!!! Good Fishing 🎣
This style of fly really is a killer, and so easy to tie. It works with non-jig hooks also. I think it is sort of a generic larvae imitation, or some would call it a grub. Tie it skinny to imitate a Callibaetis nymph in lakes or fatter for Caddis in rivers. Larger for Cranefly larvae. I have good luck with tan but will try Oyster. Thanks for keeping it simple and not getting carried with nuance. If I wanted nuance and detail I would tie Atlantic Salmon flies and make them into earrings. Haha.
Hi Frank and thanks for the kind words. For nuance, I'm unsure if it would be a pair of earrings, Atlantic Salmon fly or not! ;-) Also, here's the original version of this fly on a scud hook: th-cam.com/video/TJiB8Z_EPW8/w-d-xo.html Thanks again for sharing and I hope all is well! Tim
@@TimCammisa Thanks Tim. I think the concept of 2-minute flies is very practical. A lot of flies I see on TH-cam seem to be overkill on detail and nuance. I converged my best lake fly to something similar to the Utah Bug and to a Caddis larvae pattern for rivers. A lot of insect larvae are basically grubs or maggots. Easy to tie flies means more time on the water and less concern about losing a fly while fishing.
I use wool and yarn a lot. For nymphs and dry flies.
But you have to pay attention. Some sink and some float. So be carefull to take the right one. But I think that's obvious.
Tight lines 🎣 from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.
Great point, Robin, and one that many of us learned about the hard way...especially when I wanted a fly to float (and it didn't!). Hope all is well. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
This is the closest colour to the Chadwick 447 that Frank Sayer used for his killer bug that I have seen. I purchased mine from Jamieson in Shetland, UK. I now see a distributor in the US.
Love your videos, some of the best out there. Any chance some day we can take a peak at your personal fly boxes? I think it would be an awesome and interesting video, with a brief description behind the scenes of your personal theries
Thanks for the comments, and that's something I plan on discussing (thought the focus will be more on organization). The best way to see my boxes is to run into me on the water! ;-) In all seriousness, my focus is less on specific flies and more on fishing techniques. I do understand the desire to see what others are using, thus stay tuned and you may get your wish! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Looking forward to trying this one! Thanks
You're welcome, Scott, and good luck with it..."Killer" is applicable in this one! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Hi Tim, I remember the last video, crashed TH-cam didn't it? Lol! Lots of discussion on the secret yarn ect. I got a lot of suggested viewing from TH-cam on the "pattern" at that time. I haven't tied it yet, but I did look for a comparable yarn using the criteria suggested for it's composition. Found some too, also other yarns that I liked for their uniqueness to use on other patterns. I even checked out the color match at the grocery store sea food case on the way home. I don know how they determine the color name at the mill where Sawyer got his yarn but I now know the color of oysters, at least from the area where the store gets theirs, and my yarn was a good match. I suspect there's more to the patterns success, how and where you fish it included.
At any rate it's great fun and like many things it gets put on a back burner where "things to try" remain at a slow simmer. However I did eye the deep water mahogany clams for future color match on iso patterns ;-)
Take care Tim, always a pleasure to watch your tutorials. 👍😎
HAHA, Joe...crashed TH-cam! You're way too funny, but it definitely created a buzz. Regarding your comment as to the color, I know what you mean. There are definitely effective methods that not everyone applies. In other circles, that yarn Mr. Sawyer used is like solid gold! I get it as a tier, but fortunately it hasn't driven me to the obsession point...at least not yet! You'll have to shoot me an email with a pic of that mahogany yarn, sounds great! Hope all is well, and great hearing from you. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
I love all you do. I talk to you a ton on Facebook so much awesome.
Thanks for the comment, Jesse, and cool you've commented here, too! If you're not subscribed to my videos, I hope you do so, and thanks for such kind words. Happy New Year! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Very nice Tim.
Thanks, Justin, and I hope all is going well with you! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
SIMPLE and DEADLY!!!!!!!
how well does this work on the Provo?
My guide company Tenkara Guides LLC, based in SLC, are the developers of the Utah Killer Bug. It was designed and tested on the Provo River. Our original uses medium red Ultrawire on hooks sized 21/14. Small Ultrawire on size 16 hooks. Red or orange Glo Brite thread used for a head. Red thread for the rest of the tie.
Great fly
I agree, and glad you like it, Jim. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
great fly Thanks
You're welcome, Mark, and I hope all is going well with you! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Hi Tim still not doing good thanks for asking
Hang in there!
Tim ,if we're too fish penns creek in the second week of October ,what bugs would you have in your arsinal
Hi Russell, and things can change quickly this time of year! I would recommend calling a local fly shop over these recommendations, but I would certainly have some BWO imitations, October caddis nymphs, olive streamers, some midge patterns (subsurface and emerging), plus a few Euro nymphs. Hope that helps, and if you make it there, email me your success after: tcammisa@gmail.com Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
In your opinion would Dave witlocks nymph represent a october caddis
And what is your favorite bow nymph pattern
Great to see you on a new video Tim. Thank you for your time and video again. Remember JESUS saves and desires a relationship with you and your loved ones!
Thank you for the kind words, Jason, and hope you enjoy the newest one. It's almost TOO simple to tie! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
My greatest grandfather actually talked to Jesus.
When is the the best time of the year to use this fly
Hi Ed, and thanks for checking. I tend to use this in the spring into early summer, then adjust the size (smaller) as the summer continues. Increase its size in the fall, then again decrease into the winter. I hope that helps! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
where can I get the gummy minnow materal?
Steve, I just sent you an email with a link. If you need more information, let me know. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
"two minute fly tying" - **Thirteen minute video**
Thanks for the comment, NC, and the fly is part of my "Two Minute Tying" series, which features flies that can be tied in approximately two minutes. This one definitely qualifies! I apologize if you were thrown off by the additional information and tips I shared. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
