The Woolly Bugger is without a doubt one of the most popular, widespread, and certainly most effective flies out there. What exactly does it imitate? That's been a debate for years among fly anglers. But one thing is clear: the combination of enticing marabou as a tail and the pulsating hackle is simply irresistible to many fish, especially trout. When this recipe for success is combined with a bit of glitter and a bead for weighting, and offered in coordinated color combinations, not only can the fish hardly resist, but we fly fishermen can't either.
Olive & Grizzly: Besides black, certainly the most common color when it comes to Woolly Bugger patterns. And for good reason: It's an absolute guarantee, especially in waters with dragonfly larvae. But small minnows or gobies can also be perfectly imitated with this color combination. A recommendation for the whole year, not just in murky water.
Whether on a small stream or river, at a trout lake, at a reservoir for perch, or in a small pond teeming with tadpoles and dragonfly larvae: The Shimmer Bugger by Fulling Mill is our new guarantee for success in the pursuit of trout and smaller predatory fish.
