The Only Fly You Need? It Might Just Be.
If you could only have one fly in your box, the Woolly Bugger would be a top contender. Now, imagine that legendary pattern, but supercharged for modern fishing. That's the Rivfly Tungsten Jig Woolly Bugger.
The Rivfly Upgrade: Deeper, Cleaner, Better.
We didn't just tie a classic; we enhanced it. The two biggest frustrations with traditional buggers are getting them deep enough in fast water and losing them to snags on the bottom. We solved both.
- The Tungsten Advantage: The heavy tungsten bead head acts like an anchor, plunging your fly into the strike zone right away. No more long, unproductive drifts waiting for your fly to sink.
- The Jig Hook Revolution: By design, this fly rides with the hook point facing upwards. This simple change is a game-changer, allowing you to bounce the fly along rocky bottoms where predatory fish love to hide, with dramatically fewer snags.
How to Fish It:
There's no wrong way to fish a Woolly Bugger.
- Strip it: Cast it out and retrieve it with short, quick strips to imitate a fleeing baitfish.
- Swing it: Let it swing across the current like a traditional wet fly.
- Dead-drift it: Fish it under an indicator like a giant nymph or a drowned leech.
This isn't just a fly; it's a solution. It's the confidence you need to explore every part of the water column. Stock your box with the most versatile and effective streamer ever designed.
