My recent post about David Cowardin’s “Unsinkable” dry flies (using heat-shrink tubing) caused one curmudgeonly Undergrounder to forward us the Web site of the original unsinkable dry fly – the Bunyan Bug:
Bunyan bugs: Cool, but $45?? (click image to visit site)
We know they’re seriously cool and retro (they were featured in A River Runs Through It), but the price suggests these aren’t exactly your father’s Bunyan Bugs – they’re $45 each.
Any takers among the Undergrounders?
See you at the bank, Tom Chandler.

$45 EACH, seriously? C’mon…no, really you’re kidding, right? WTF?

$45 each? I hope they’re made of gold. Or maybe cocaine. Meth? Nah– too devestating. I’ll stick with crack.
I don’t even flyfish (I just adore Trout Underground) and that seems wrong.

It’s OK to adore us.

I had a few Banyan Bugs in my box… ones that came from my Dad’s box. I always thought they were pretty cool. I have fished them on trout and bass, and found that they work well, on bass at least.
I have seen collectors paying some decent money fopr them, but am not tempted to sell mine.
