Slim Bugger

Cheech - September, 2023

For years the common theme at Henry's Lake was a very slim bugger with a dubbed body and a sparse tail. These flies usually use small dry fly hackle as shown in this video. At Henry's lake, this style fly is very effective on an intermediate fly line and stripped slowly over weed beds. I like to keep this style of fly weightless because it will move much better in the water.
