This maybe the most popular streamer pattern ever. Probably because it can be used in all waters (ponds, lakes, slow rivers, fast rivers). This impressionistic pattern imitates everything; including minnows, sculpin, leeches, crayfish and anything else. Your fly box should have several of these from large to small and different colors. The secret to this fly is the marabou tail it creates a lifelike action that any trout, bass or any fish can't resist.
The Tungsten Bead Head Micro Wolly Bugger Jig Fly is tied on a barbless Hanak jig hook. The total length of the #10 is about 1.375". They are mini versions of the big boys. The construction of this fly is a proven formula to catch more fish:
- Tungsten Bead - gets fly into the feeding lane faster
- Jig hook – less snags and better hook ups as hook rides upward
- Barbless hook – better penetration and less damage to the fish
