The Dirty Bird Bugger Fly Tying Video

Small streamer patterns are very effective for our local fisheries for most types of game fish that you would find in our waters, and here is another example to add to the collection. This is a pattern we like to use for cutthroat, and this is a great colour, but it really shines in tannin or “tea-stained” water. Tie it in olive, brown, and even white and put a few in your box for your favourite fishery, and you might be surprised at what you can catch on this little bugger.
