Thin Mint Bugger

A high-contrast attention-grabbing pattern that trout can't resist. Its slim, sleek profile and subtle flash imitate minnows, leeches, and other forage, making it perfect for lakes and rivers. 

How to fish it: On a sink tip or full sinking line with slow erratic strips to mimic a darting baitfish or slow, sweeping retrieve along the bottom and undercut banks for a natural, lifelike action. 

Best for: Anglers chasing aggressive trout in rivers and lakes who want a streamer that stands out and triggers reaction strikes. 

Why we love it: It's a versatile, reliable fly that pushes water, flashes just enough to attract attention, and consistently gets eaten - one of those "can't leave the box behind" patterns.
