Don's Bully Bugger

Local Missouri River guru Don Polovich exclusively fishes this pattern for smallies, white bass, pike, you name it! He changes up the color and size to match different conditions. Chartreuse is a local favorite. This is about as simple of a fly pattern as they come, and it works insanely well. If you're chasing warmwater fish, this is a must-have fly!
