Learn How to Tie The Bow River Bugger

The Bow River in Alberta is on my bucket list. Over the years of fly fishing and talking to guys and gals that I&come across, the Bow is for sure a river I will fish in the future. When I do, like the old saying goes, "when in Rome," I will surely be fishing one of these flies. I have seen pictures of some of the fish they have pulled from this river. Rarely, is there not a big streamer of some sort hanging out of these fishes’ mouths. This fly has it all as far as a well-built streamer. From the classic cone head to the muddler style spun hair front or the rabbit strip down its back, it’s all there. It’s a pretty awesome fly if you ask me. There have been so many variations of the fly have tied over the years. I keep coming back to this one though. It doesn&take 45 minutes to make or use half of the farm to tie it either. You can tie them in whatever color combos you want. I have found olive and black to be my favorites. Around where I fish in the North Idaho region, this is one of my favorite streamers throughout the year.
