The Workhorse of the Sierra
A true classic with a deadly twist, the Tungsten Bead Head Woolly Bugger in Black is one of the most versatile and productive flies you can carry in the Eastern Sierra. The black body and marabou tail create lifelike movement that mimics everything from leeches to baitfish, while the tungsten bead helps this fly drop quickly into deeper holding water—right where the big ones wait.
Whether you're stripping it through stillwater drop-offs, crawling it along creek bottoms, or swinging it through tailouts, this bugger moves water and triggers instinctive strikes. A must-have for high-country lakes, reservoirs like Bridgeport or Twin Lakes, and even faster freestone streams.
