Big Eye Bugger – RIO
If there’s one fly out there that’s never going out of style, we’re confident that would be the Woolly Bugger. We took one of fly-fishing’s most classic patterns and added a twist. The dumbbell eyes allow for fast sinking and an inverted hook to fish it closer to the bottom without getting hung up. Tie it on with a non-slip loop for maximum movement through the water.

This fly performs well in deep water. The dumbbell eyes sink quickly and the inverted hook keeps it from getting snagged. I’ve used it in streams and lakes with good results. The non-slip loop stays secure even when the line moves.

A solid upgrade to the classic Woolly Bugger. The sinking action is faster than I expected. Works well in cold water conditions. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the performance.

Fished it in a rocky stream and it stayed on the bottom without getting caught. The movement through the water is natural and the hook design prevents tangles. Great for targeting bottom-dwelling fish.
