Bully Bugger Bull Trout Fly Tying Video

The Bully Bugger is a Bull Trout nightmare! I like to fish a fly with a big profile and lots of movement that mimics prey when targeting big bulls. This pattern can be scaled up and even articulated if you want to get real nasty! I typically swing this pattern behind a sink-tip but these predators will also inhale this fly stripped in like a fleeing baitfish. Big ones, beware…
