Panfish Bugger

Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: size 10-nymph hook
Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread
Weight: Small brass bead
Tail: Two rubber legs, splayed out on either side of the hook
Rib: Small red ultra wire
Body: Natural peacock
Note: This pattern was invented a when I made an effort to combine my two favorite panfish flies: the girdle bug and the woolly bugger. The action of the rubber legs, combined with the peacock body and grizzly hackle, makes for a great pattern that will last fish after fish.
