About this fly

Bugaboo - Mike Schmidt The Bugaboo is a fly that I tied up for fly fishing in the fall on into the winter. It's heavy enough to get down and bounce the bottom in faster flows, but the soft hackle allows you to swing it out at the end of a drift and get some sexy movement with just enough flash to get the fishes' attention.

What the Bugaboo imitates

Tied for: Trout (general)

Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
