This week, Taylor takes us into the studio to showcase a fly he's been perfecting for quite a while - introducing the Bullwinkle Baetis! As rugged as it is refined, this fly is loaded with moose hair at every turn, giving it that irresistibly buggy appeal that trout simply can’t ignore. And let’s not forget the crackle bead, delivering a flashy pop that’s sure to grab attention and earn those double takes from even the pickiest fish. Trust us, this fly doesn’t just look good - it’s built to perform. Let’s dive in and see what makes the Bullwinkle Baetis a must-have for your box!
