The Fulling Mill Bug Back Sheet in Pink is designed for fly tiers seeking a durable, translucent material to create realistic shellbacks on shrimp and Czech nymph patterns, or segmented bodies on small nymphs. Its key benefit is the ease of use due to its paper backing and its ability to add a lifelike sheen. A minor caveat is the need to remove the paper backing before application.

Yes, the material is designed to be durable and withstand immersion in water when tied onto a fly.
Yes, its durability and shellback imitation make it suitable for certain saltwater patterns, depending on the desired imitation.
There are 12 colors available in the Bug Back range, including Clear, Dark Veined, Pink, Black, and Olive.
The pink color can be highly effective for imitating scuds, small crustaceans, or as an attractor color in various fishing conditions, particularly in clearer waters or during specific times of the year.
Ensure you are using a sharp pair of fly tying scissors. For very fine cuts, a hobby knife on a cutting mat might offer more precision.
Ensure the fly tying surface is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue or head cement to the tying point before securing the Bug Back.
Gently bend the sheet to start the peel. If it remains stubborn, a fine-tipped tool can help lift an edge.
Try to work with the material quickly after peeling. If curling is persistent, a slight stretch or rolling it gently in the opposite direction can sometimes help.
