Bunker Blue

The Bunker Blue is a highly effective baitfish imitation fly designed for both saltwater and freshwater fishing. This versatile pattern mimics peanut bunker fish and herring in coastal waters, making it a prime choice for targeting striped bass, bluefish, and other predatory saltwater species. In freshwater, it serves as an excellent shad or shiner imitation, attracting aggressive strikes from trout, bass, and pike.

Tied with premium materials, the Bunker Blue features a realistic profile and subtle flash to enhance visibility in various water conditions. The combination of flowing synthetic fibers and durable construction ensures lifelike movement and long-lasting performance, even after multiple strikes. Its blue and silver coloration makes it particularly effective in clear water and during baitfish runs.

To fish the Bunker Blue effectively, strip it in short, erratic bursts to mimic a fleeing baitfish, swing it through current seams, or troll it in deeper waters where predatory fish are actively feeding. This fly is especially productive in the fall and spring when baitfish migrations trigger aggressive feeding behavior.
