Bushy body for lots of movement and a lifelike presentation, the Rickard's Seal Bugger is a deadly variation of a standard woolly bugger. A productive pattern, it will imitate a variety of food sources such as dragonfly or damselfly nymphs, leeches and minnows. Per 2. Sizes: 8, 10. Colors:(003)Black, (116)Burnt Orange, (411)Olive, (560)Burgundy.
The olive rickards seal bugger is the best lmb and smallmouth bass fly out there. I have caught 23" lmb with it to 19" smallmouths. Love this fly and my club wanders how come I catch so many bass in a day. My beast day was recently at 20-25 different species of bass in one day.
I have used these flies for a number of years and I've been happy with the way they held up. The recent shipment that I received began to fall apart (the thread and hackle fell apart) after catching a couple trout.
