The Bead Head Woolly Bugger is a must-have for any angler, especially beginners learning the ropes of both fly fishing and fly tying. Its simple design is deceptively effective—imitating everything from leeches and baitfish (One of our Top Recommended Streamer Patterns) to dragonfly nymphs and large aquatic insects—which is why it consistently catches fish in rivers, lakes, and streams. The added bead head helps the fly sink quickly and gives it a jigging motion that triggers strikes when dead-drifted, swung, or stripped. For those new to tying, the bugger is a great pattern to start with, teaching essential techniques like palmering hackle, counter-ribbing, and achieving proper proportions. Available in a range of variations—like the Krystal Bugger, Hot Bead Bugger, and Complex Twist Bugger.
