Fulling Mill Complex T/Bugger - Black

The one to learn swinging big flies with

Black is where most people start when they move up to bigger streamers, and there is sense in it: the silhouette is unambiguous in any water and the fly is heavy enough to load a rod properly without being unmanageable. It fishes well on a single-hander, and it is a genuinely good first fly on a two-hander with a Skagit head, where the weight helps turn the tip over. Swing it across a run, or strip it back hard along a lake edge at dusk.
