Check out Wade Blevin’s ‘Sam’s One Bug’ warmwater fly. Wade is one of Alabama’s fly fishing gurus. He has been tying and successfully fishing this fly, created by his late father Craig 'Sam' Blevins, for 40 years. With this fly, Wade is carrying on his father's tradition and promoting the sport of fly fishing.
