Bead Head Krystal Olive Woolly Bugger

This is my favourite edge fishing fly. Lakes Matahina and Aniwhenua have gold fish and when the young of the year are in abundance, this fly fished quickly is devastating. Other times I fish it slow with a wiggle and it is taken as a damsel. I reckon I could catch a fish anywhere with this fly.
