52 Buick Variation Fly Tying Tutorial

The 52 Buick is a classic fly pattern renowned among British Columbia's stillwater anglers for its versatility and effectiveness. Originally designed as a searching nymph, it imitates a range of aquatic insects, including damsel fly nymphs, scuds, and caddis larvae. Its simplicity and adaptability make it a staple in many fly boxes. This pattern can be tied in various shades of green to match local lake conditions and the natural coloration of aquatic insects.
