🖤 The Black Woolly Bugger
Made by @HackleandHerls
A timeless classic and one of the most versatile flies ever tied. Imitating everything from leeches and baitfish to stoneflies and nymphs, this pattern has earned its place in every angler’s box. The black variation is especially deadly in stained water, low light, and when fish are chasing silhouettes.
Whether you’re targeting trout, bass, or even steelhead, the Woolly Bugger’s pulsing marabou tail and flowing hackle bring it to life with every strip. It’s not just a fly—it’s a confidence pattern.
📌 Pro tip: Fish it deep with weight for big takes, or strip it shallow for aggressive strikes.
