Vanilla Bugger

Fly: Jim LaFevers, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Orvis 122J #8 or equivalent streamer hook
Head: Black Conehead
Thread: Black 3/0
Tail: Lt. Tan or Cream Marabou topped with few strands of Pearl Krystal Flash
Body: Cream Furry Foam
Hackle: Badger (Palmered)

Note: Very popular on Wyoming’s North Platte River. The Vanilla Bugger along with the Dan Ackroyd have taken a lot of big fish for me and prove lighter colored buggers will work well.
