Bulky Buggy Streamer
The Bulky Buggy Streamer is an effective and versatile fly pattern that is perfect for anglers targeting larger fish. With its simple yet sturdy design, the Bulky Buggy Streamer is built for durability in both fast-moving and still waters, making it a must-have addition to your fly box.
The materials for this fly have been carefully selected to ensure optimal performance. The olive tungsten bead provides just the right amount of weight, while the black poly yarn tail and red woolly nylon throat create an attractive movement in the water. With a Carlisle long shank bronzed hook and 0.25 lead-free wire wrapped six times for extra weight, this streamer offers a natural presentation that will entice even the most cautious fish.
