Wanny Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Hit the bench last night to whip up something to start this off. Nothing to crazy here just playing with two colors I like in buggers. Woolly woven bugger. Recipe Thread: Red 6/0 Tail: Black and Olive Marabou Body: Woven black and olive chenille Hackle: Black and olive saddle Rid: 4x mono Gills / blood: Red saddle hackle Flash: Pearl Flashabou Field tested this afternoon, nothing to the net but felt a short strike..... I think Quote
bhurt Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Sweet fly there wanny, since I have to tie some up for a trip tomorrow, I will post a photo of my killer wolly bugger aka: Leech (as I like to call them as that is how I fish them) when I get some tied up tonight. Thanks Max for putting this togather it sure will get the good old brain thinking again. Quote

Excellent fly. I love seeing flies that aren't super difficult to construct tied to absolute perfection; this is an excellent example of this. Quote
jordo Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Excellent fly. I love seeing flies that aren't super difficult to construct tied to absolute perfection; this is an excellent example of this. Thanks, it is a pretty easy tie, I've shortened up the tail on my newest ones (they'll get field tested tomorrow) here's hoping it fishes well. Looking forward to seeing what other variations others come up with, and a big thanks to Maxwell for organizing this. Quote
