For years I've felt that the sow bug was a bug that I underutilized on the Clinch River. A few years ago, I wanted to create a sow pattern for my home river. As I began researching other patterns I saw different methods and some attributes I liked and some I didn't. A couple weeks ago, I saw FlyFishFood put out their "Gut Stack Sow Bug". To my surprise it greatly resembled the bug I usually tie for the Clinch. I would say it's improved greatly with UV resin. I use Clear Cure Goo and really like it a lot. Here are a couple pictures of the Gut Stack version I tied up recently. I'm expecting good results and hope to have some to show soon. On the clinch I've typically used #16 and #14 for sow bugs.
