Tying Tips: Leave enough room for the fish skull head. I recommend putting the skull on and measuring first. put some thread wraps to that location on the shank. Then finish your fly at that point.
This wooly bugger variant works by adding some more weight and enhancing the baitfish look of the wooly bugger. This heavier head gets the fly deeper and adds realistic look, especially with the living eyes. This easy to cast versatile streamer is a must have for your streamer box. This pattern works because of the tapered body, and lifelike movement from the marabou tail.
Utilize the heavy fish skull and get this fly deep to the bottom of rifts, current, and troughs. This baitfish pattern can be used any time of year for both bass and trout but are most effective when nothing is hatching. This makes trout key in on other food sources like baitfish.
For bass use this fly year ’round. Tie them in larger sizes to attract trophy largemouth or leave them as smaller minnows to attract that lunker river smallmouth. Keep the fly near rocks, logs, limbs, and cut banks.
Strip this fly or let it dead drift. Vary your retrieval methods to find what is working. Try swinging the fly through current or vary your retrieve to entice strikes.
