Woolly Bugger Black Skullhead
Woolly buggers are some of the most effective fly patterns ever produced. There is a reason people continue to fish them decade after decade, it’s because they are THAT good. The skullhead bugger incorporates weight to the head that creates an enticing up/down swim motion. Fish it fast in shallow to medium depths, or slow in deep or fast water.
Woolly Buggers are extremely effective patterns for targeting lake and river trout, and incorporating a weighted Skullhead means a more realistic motion in the water. This fly imitates a whole array of quarry for fish and we are sure will produce some amazing wild brown trout.

Fished this in a river during early spring and caught several brown trout. The up/down motion from the skullhead weight made a big difference. Easy to tie and works well in varying water conditions.
Cameron Nash –
Good pattern for deep water fishing. The weight helps it stay in place and move naturally. A bit slow to retrieve, but effective when done properly.

Used it in a lake with mixed currents. The realistic movement attracted fish that didn’t respond to other patterns. Highly recommend for trout anglers.
