Hot Flies & Bugs
Hot Flies & Bugs are essential for anglers targeting trout and other freshwater fish, especially in fly-fishing. These are flies that closely mimic the insects fish are feeding on during a particular season or hatch. Popular patterns include Blue Winged Olives (BWOs), midges, and pheasant tail nymphs, all of which are effective year-round. For fall fishing, streamer patterns like woolly buggers and leeches can be highly productive, especially for larger fish. Ideal fishing bait typically includes these imitative flies, as they match the natural food source in the water, enticing more bites from wary fish.
