At this year’s BreamBugs annual outing at Rainbow Trout Ranch, Rockbridge, Missouri, technical staff member David Miller received a water color painting of him catching a trout at last year’s outing. This painting was done by artist Bobby Walters of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The largest trout caught this year was 3.8 pounds. The most productive flies were black wet flies, Black Woolly Bugger and the Black and White Marabou Skunk.

BreamBugs has developed a new version of the Popper/Dropper Rig. At the request of customers we now have the Popper/Dropper Rig with 10 Lb test leader. There are many advantages of the 10lb test. First, the stiffer leader keeps the two flies from getting tangled. Second, a 10lb test will help land larger fish. Find Popper/Dropper rigs under “Leaders” at www.BreamBugs.com
If you do lots of “catch and release” fly fishing you are aware of the advantages of barbless hooks. The main advantage, however, is that it will not hurt the fish and obviously its easier to remove the hook. BreamBugs has several barbless hooks to choose from. Here is a picture of my favorite barbless hook. Check out all of the different styles we have at: www.BreamBugs.com
Here is your opportunity. Pultz Poppers has introduced their new Snub Nose Slider for bream fly fishing. Available in three styles, chartreuse body with black spackle, black hackle and chartreuse tail. The Snub Nose Slider Frog white body with black spackle, black hackle and white tail. All three styles are available in hook sizes 8 and 10. See all three at: www.BreamBugs.com
