Description
The Black Ghost Bucktail is a legendary streamer designed to imitate a fleeing baitfish. Created by Herbert Welch in the 1920s, its dark body and contrasting yellow and white materials create a bold profile in the water. The durable bucktail wing comes alive in the current, making it an excellent choice for trout, landlocked salmon, and bass.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Fish the Black Ghost Bucktail with short, sharp strips followed by a brief pause. Many strikes come as the fly slows or begins to sink
