DarrellP 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2021 For trout I fly Buggers relatively sparse. For Steelhead or Bass, I tie a thicker fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2021 Your bugger looks like a tamed down version of the wild mess I tied in purple passion. Marabou tail and flash, wire wrapped chenille body and schlappen hackle only in front of fly is known on the Guadalupe River and Lady of the Guadalupe and takes some of the biggest carryover fish every year from what I read. Would love to get there someday but understand it's a tough road to hoe for out of towners unless they hire a guide to lead them through the public and private lands.

Yeah, I've had that happen a couple of times and sometimes I do it myself. If someone doesn't send a return envelope I stick them in with another and then forget I've got them already and sit around waiting for them.
