Wooly Bugger with a bloody variation

Recommended Posts

I got bored tying the same old buggers, so I love making simple variations. I got some new red dubbing with super long fibers, so decided to tie that in behind the conehead bead to create a hotspot. Maybe it imitates gills but I think the fish trigger on it because it looks like the bugger (in this color a baitfish imitation) is bleeding. Let me know what you think!

Looks like a 2nd cousin to the Magnus - same red headed bugger form!

I like taking a few barbs of red marabou and lashing them on top the main feather. I like to imagine when its stationary the red barbs kinda float around like the bugger is bleeding.
