Fly Tying Wooly Buggers for Lake Trout | Snowy Mountains Loch Style Trout Streamers

Welcome to lake season in the Snowies! In today's video, Pat shows you how to tie three effective Woolly Bugger variations that are simple yet deadly for fly fishing our alpine lakes. We’ll start with the classic McGoo Olive Woolly Bugger featuring a bright orange bead, followed by a Chenille Woolly Bugger with added flash and a heavier bead, and finally, the Thin Mint with a multicolored tail and peacock herl body. These flies are easy to tie, super customisable, and perfect for filling your fly box quickly. Whether you're fishing a two-fly rig or just a single, these patterns will catch fish. Pat walks you through each step, including choosing the right materials, creating tails, and adding dubbing, chenille, or hackle.
