I am sure most of you heard the news that Detroit, Michigan was named the nation's most dangerous city. What many of you don't know is that most of these urban areas all over the world have become spawning grounds for a little known fly fishing group called Flugs. Flugs are "Fly Fishing Thugs" They may also go by other nicknames such as Banditos, Gangstas of the Falts or Fish Hawks. They have been spotted all over the country in the fresh and saltwaters wearing buffs to conceal their identities. Detroit, NYC, Islamorada, Los Roques, Montauk, Belize City, Missoula, San Juan, Salt Lak City and Twin Bridges are just some of the areas where there have been reported run-in's with Flugs. They have been known to "tag" the local public transportation or walls with the motto "The tug is the drug!" Some on-line 
publications have even promoted this lifestyle (See, This Is Fly - issue 01; pages 13 and 23). Many of these Flugs are known to "Rip Some Lips", "Put Blood in the Boat" and even "Catch a grand Slam". If you run into any of these Flugs on your local waters, keep your distance and STAY AWAY; they have been known to straight up CATCH FISH!
