 Crystal
Bugger, Olive --For those who want more
flash in their Wooly Buggers. Crystal buggers suit early spring conditions and,
when slowly hand-twisted, produce on lakes as well. They are surprisingly effective in
saltwater, but "toothy" species like school bluefish chomp off the marabou
pretty fast.
 Crystal
Bugger, Pearl -- This color is used to mimic the flash of baitfish.
Effective when cast or trolled in waters with shad or pond smelt in the food chain,
especially below power plants discharging wounded minnows. A good choice for off color
water as you can follow the flash and strike when the fly is engulfed.
 Hornbergs
Special: Frank Hornberg's fly works as a dry in small sizes or a streamer in
bigger models. Another minnow imitation popular where Sacramento Perch or shad are
present.
Marabou Leech, Black
--
Marabou Leech,
Brown --
 Marabou Leech, Burgundy: These are tied on a
short shank hook with a little weight on the hook to cause the head to drop when the
retrieve is stopped. This snake- like action imitates leeches with a hand-twist
retrieve. Oddment: The name "trout" goes to the Germanic "trauz"
meaning"to bite." Must have been truck trout!
 Marabou Leech Olive
-- Good for casting or trolling, use a pull pause retrieve to "pulse"
the marabou. Motion is the key to fishing this style streamer.
 Matuka Olive -- Matuka's work as imitations of darker baitfish. Troll or cast
across current with this New Zealand-style fly so that fish sees a profile not the
head-on or tail-on view. May imitate Dace so try short slow darting retrieves.. This fly
is popular in the Eastern Sierras for brown trout fishing in the fall.
 Muddler
Minnow --Originated by Don Gapen, today ties mostly patterns by Dan Baily.
Nicely imitates basic sculpin and, in small sizes, large nymphs. " In small, clear
streams - #6 to #10 patterns are most effective - no single streamer pattern had a greater
impact on fly fishing than the Muddler Minnow beginning in the 1950s."-- A.J. McClane
