Christmas Tree Bugger

Don't make the mistake of hitting the stillwaters around West Yellowstone without a few Christmas Tree Buggers in your box. This impressionistic pattern does the trick as a leech, a damsel nymph, a small baitfish, or a general attractor, but seems to perform best when the damsels are buzzing from mid-summer onward.

We have these tied for the shop by local tying legend Arrick Swanson, who has been wrapping these for the locals for decades.
