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.
Thin Mint: In terms of colors, the fly resembles a bit of a salmon fly. But our native, resident salmonids also love orange, olive, and black. And when all three colors are combined, even better! For us, this color is also particularly interesting for hunting perch.
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.
