Golden Retriever
As Fall approaches I begin to fill my box with one pattern before any. The Golden Retriever. A product of Jim Finn's bench, this pattern can't help but account for my largest fish of the season each and every year. A Wooly Bugger by design, this pattern excels under an indicator and bounced along the bottom like a standard nymph pattern. Give it a try.
