Root Beer Bugger


The wooly bugger is a classic pattern. It's one of the easiest to tie and catches trout, bass, carp, and panfish. Tie it with or without a bead. Experiment with materials and tie it in colors to match your home waters. You can't go wrong with Black, Brown, and Olive, they all work. A great fly for the beginning fly tier.  It's a quick pattern to tie and follows the K.I.S.S. rule.

  2. Very nice, I like the fact you use rootbeer cord, a lot of times I use the maraboo straight from the tail and wrap it up the hook like dubbing.
