Description: My Tan Woolly Bugger is a very versatile pattern that imitates a wide variety of food sources for hungry trout. This fly will catch fish in virtually any lake or river. The key to the success of this fly is that there is plenty of "action", provided by a closely palmered hackle and a tail of soft turkey marabou, the Nymph-Head™ bead gets the fly down quickly. The Tan Bugger is tied in a variety of colors; black, brown, tan and olive can imitate anything from a leech to a dragonfly. Personally, the tan color has always been the most productive. Any serious angler has a variety of color and sizes in their fly box.
