The Bugger

Recommended Posts

Fun thread for sure, and I'm happy to share. I have not found too many bad variations, which lends to the success of this pattern in so many types of water.

 

One of my best fishing Buggers is with a peacock herl body:

 

 

I've also done well when tying the pattern with schlappen hackle:

 

 

Plus, no hackle, but simple webby crystal chenille is always a great one, and FAST to tie:

Mike!!!!!!!!!! Never used a Wooly Bugger???!?!?!?! Just about fell off my seat when I read that (lol). Ok, maybe not.

 

Bakers hole Bugger - I saw it a few years ago and just think it's the 'cat's meow' - 3 colors in the tail with some flashabou, variegated chenille body, plamered real soft hackle with an orange tying thread head.

 

I thought it looked like a little brown trout in the water when I saw it the first time.
