Thinmint

The Thin Mint Bugger was developed by stillwater expert Bob Gaviglio of Sunriver Fly Shop all the way back in 1986! The Thin Mint is a wonderful blend of everything a stillwater streamer should be. Multi colored, natural iridescence, with a hint of flash and buggy with a little weight....just what the fish gods are always asking for! This fly is also a person favorite of mine, it is one of my "go to" patterns for everything stillwater. That also includes catching nearly ALL of my largest common carp too! It truly is a must have in your flybox!
