A highly versatile streamer that blends natural iridescence with subtle flash, the BH Krystal Bugger – Peacock is a consistent producer across Eastern Sierra waters. The deep, shimmering peacock body mimics a range of prey—from leeches to small baitfish—while strands of Krystal Flash add just enough sparkle to grab attention without overpowering the presentation. The bead head helps this fly sink quickly and maintain depth throughout the retrieve.
Deadly on fisheries like Crowley Lake, Upper Owens River, and Hot Creek, this pattern excels when trout are feeding opportunistically or keying in on darker, natural prey. Fish it with a slow strip, swing it through runs, or dead drift it with subtle movement to trigger reaction strikes.
Best Uses:
Stripping or slow retrieves in stillwater
Swinging through runs and deeper pools
Clear to lightly stained water, variable light conditions
Target: Trout feeding on leeches, baitfish, and larger subsurface prey in Eastern Sierra lakes and rivers**
