Wulff - Black

Wulff – Black

The Black Wulff brings Lee Wulff's legendary design to its darkest, most striking form. With a jet black body, full hair wing, and heavily wound hackle, this pattern cuts a bold silhouette against the sky — exactly what trout are looking for when they’re actively feeding on the surface in fast, broken water. Its dark profile makes it especially effective on overcast days, in low-light conditions, and on heavily shaded streams where contrast matters most.

Like all Wulff patterns, it floats high and handles rough water with ease, making it a reliable searching pattern when you’re covering water and looking for willing fish. Our variation delivers the classic proportions and durability you expect from Pursuit FlyWorX.
