Jimmy D’s River Bugs

Jimmy D’s River Bugs, owned and operated by Jim DeZurik (Minnesota based angler / fly tyer with 50 years of experience), provides custom fly tying for all anglers looking to catch fish and enjoy themselves on both lakes and rivers. When you come to me, you can choose from my stock items (available in multiple colors) or let me tie one of your favorite jigs. Jimmy D’s River Bugs offers a variety of fish-catching lures, including Hair, Feather, Rabbit and Marabou Jigs, Swim Jigs, Spinner Baits, Pan Fish Jigs and so much more.

I specialize in tying jigs to catch Small and Large Mouth Bass, Walleyes, Northern Pike and Pan Fish. River Bug Hair jigs feature the usage of hair, feathers and silicone skirts. All of the materials used are of the highest quality and provide a natural life-like breathing action when pulled through the water. Paints used are oven cured powder paint and are available in a multitude of colors. Hook eyelets are always free of paint so you can start fishin’ instead of pickin’. I tie to please!

Quality Note

*All products featuring Silicone (Rubber) Skirts.* The Silicone is tied in place. I don’t use “rubber bands.” Mine are tied, knotted and cemented onto the hooks. They will not deteriorate or come off when you boat a fish. I put them on, to stay on! – – Thank you, – Jimmy D. Custom Hand Tied…

I got lucky last Sunday on a beautiful day. The fish were practically jumping into our boat. This fish was about 20". The river this time of year is the place to be. I live on the Mississippi and the fishing spot is within sight of my dock.

7 year old Maddie from MN found the 1/32 oz Bumblebee was irresistible to sunnies, crappies and more. They didn't even need to be tipped with worm to work!

Thanks Maddie! July 2023

Watch Casey Ehlert on YouTube in my blog! He demonstrates a new technique of catching giant smallies using my Marabou Jigs.

My granddaughter Megan is showing off her two nice smallies from the river. Her dad Steve makes the tails and I make the jigs. She that that was kinda cool.

Brad (left) & Mark (right) finished high in tournaments this past season using an olive colored Bass Marabou. They said it worked great on bug hatch days where nothing else did. Brad King is a Pro Angler out of Canada.

Thanks Guys!
