what are your favorite bugger colors? For trout and for panfish
Olive with a bit of flash, black with no flash and white with a bit of flash.
Hi CDP,
I usually go with blacks/greys, olives, and browns. I like a little flash mixed in so I often tie bead-heads or put a little color-matching flash in the tail (black flash in black tails etc.). If the naturals don't work, I get a little more disco oriented. Hope this helps. 8T :)
White, black, olive.
Usually tried (by me) in that order...will catch just about anything here in PA if you tie em in the right sizes.
Other interesting colors: hot pink, red, yellow...
I like to try different color combinations...so far the only real killer combo I've discovered is olive and white. I have a few with an olive body, white hackle, and either an olive or white tail that the feesh seem to like.
i just picked up some marabou from joann fabrics in a package that had yellow, blue, green, and red in it. i also got some foam and some material chenile. i dont know how to make the chenile work it is thick and bulky. I caught my first bass taday on a fly rod with a black and green bugger.
Burnt Orange...trout ...then olive or black
Small, black with a red or fire orange thread head.
I am convinced a "lateral line" of flash makes a big difference in buggers when fishing for minnow feeding rainbows. I prefer the gray ghost color for the flash.
Olive, black and burnt orange combinations are my favorites.

That is 90% of my bugger use these days. The tan one up the page a bit is the other 10%. Catches everything I have tried to catch on it, from sunfish to steelhead.
Wooly buggers....does it matter what color you tie them...they always catch fish.
