CH Bugger – Orange Blossom Bugger
Conehead Buggers are among the most productive and versatile fly patterns ever created. The CH Bugger – Orange Blossom Bugger combines the proven fish-catching profile of a Woolly Bugger with a brass conehead that helps the fly sink quickly and maintain an enticing action in deeper runs, pools, and faster currents.
Featuring an olive and orange color combination, this pattern offers a highly visible profile that stands out in a variety of water conditions. Flash materials incorporated into both the body and tail create additional attraction, imitating the movement and shimmer of baitfish, leeches, and other aquatic prey.
Whether stripped through stillwaters, swung in current, or dead drifted beneath an indicator, the Orange Blossom Bugger performs well in diverse fishing scenarios.

Colin Lyman –
Fished in a deep pool during early spring and caught several trout with the Orange Blossom Bugger. The orange flash stood out in the murky water and the conehead helped it sink smoothly. Great for deeper sections of rivers.
Mary MacLeod –
Used it in a current-heavy section and found it to be very effective when swung. The flash on the tail caught the attention of fish, and it stayed on the bottom without sinking too fast.
Trevor Greene –
Perfect for stillwater fishing. The olive and orange colors are visible even in low light. The conehead keeps it moving naturally and it’s easy to strip through the water.

A reliable pattern for both stillwater and moving water. The orange detail is noticeable and the fly holds its shape well during casting and retrieval.
