Fulling Mill Bug Back Sheet - Clear

Its primary use is for creating durable and realistic shellbacks on nymph and shrimp patterns, and for forming segmented bodies on small nymphs.

Bug Back Sheets are available in a range of colors including Clear, Dark Veined, Pink, Black, Olive, and other mottled options.

You need to carefully remove the paper backing from the sheet before cutting and tying in the material.

Each sheet measures 65mm x 250mm.

While primarily designed for nymphs and wet flies, it could potentially be used sparingly on certain dry fly patterns for durability or subtle segmentation, but its translucency might not be ideal for all dry fly applications.

The material itself is durable and water-resistant, but it's best to ensure any adhesives used are also water-proof for long-term performance in water.

Ensure the fly body surface is clean and completely dry before applying. Use a small amount of suitable fly-tying cement or super glue for extra security.

Try lifting a corner with a fine-point tool or using a piece of tape to lift the backing. Ensure you are pulling gently to avoid tearing the material.

Use a very sharp pair of scissors or a sharp craft knife. Make slow, deliberate cuts rather than quick ones.
