BruBugger

My all time favorite.

Without a doubt, this is my go to for any new stillwater situation.

Is it original?.. No.   Is it complex?...No. Will it impress the fly fish snobs?...No.

Do I care?.... No.       Why?

Because it catches fish... almost everywhere and almost anything. It's a classic for a reason.

It's just a wolly bugger , really that's all it is, but it works. 

It can be fished on almost any type of line from floating to Full sink lines to accommodate a plethora of different options that it could possibly imitate.

I tie mine with a gold cone head to expand the possibilities throughout the water column.

 I'll generally use this fly and vary retrieve rates before making a switch or matching something I see more specifically.
