Scheels Outfitters Crystal Bugger Streamer Fly

The Beadhead Crystal Bugger is a refined rendition of the classic trout fly. With a bit more flash to excite trout beneath the waters surface and a bead-head to get the fly down into the strike zone quickly. This fly is excellent in bigger pools and stripped upstream. The rule of thumb with these fishing flies is to choose a dark one on cloudy days and a lighter-colored one on sunny days. This is to account for the suns reflection through the water. Be sure to have a few black buggers in varying sizes as well as a few white ones too. The Beadhead Crystal Bugger in black and olive is one of the best choices for your first streamer to tie on. The combination of the two classic colors are great for not only rivers but fishing still water areas too. When stripped against the rivers flow, trout often hit these streamers hard. They can be swung within seams, fished as a dead drift, or stripped as you would with any streamer. Just be ready for a good strip set when the fish attack these.The Beadhead Crystal Bugger in brown is one of the best streamers for trout fishing on sunny days in deep water. The weighted head gets the fly down quickly enough to catch the eye of opportunistic trout in the area. Trout will hit this fly year round but especially during spawning season, as fish are much more territorial. These fishing flies are great for stripping upstream in your favorite rivers and serve as a good reminder that trout do not eat just flies. Many trout guides swear by streamers like this and fish them exclusively. Once you get a fish on with a streamer, you will know why. The Beadhead Crystal Bugger in olive is one of those essential patterns every angler should have in their box. Some prefer the extra crystal flash and some prefer the classic. However, we can all agree on how deadly olive buggers are. Cast just above areas of cover where trout ambush prey and strip alongside them. If you get a strike, keep stripping. Would a creature of prey stop swimming with a big bad trout on their tail? Try out the classic Olive Bugger and the crystal flash version too. See which one works best.
