WWKimba 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2022 Here's the UGLY 2X2. Tried tying when the phone rang. Now you see why I don't chew gum when I go for a walk! American Woolly - A great Fall pattern anywhere in the country (when tied right, that is!). Sorry I didn't do Tom Deschaine, this flies originator, any justice! Hook - Mustad 94831, 8 Thread - black Body - 1/4 black dry hackle, 1/2 dry brown hackle, 1/4 black dry hackle Banded Woolly Bear - This version uses chenille instead of dry fly hackle. You can tie it so it floats by wrapping the shank with a foam underbody or make it sink with a few turns of lead/non-lead wire wraps. This came from an article written by Steven H. McGarthwaite that i read back around 2013. I do not know if this is his pattern or not, but he did introduce it to me. Hook - Mustad 9476 (or any 4 XL streamer hook, 10-12 Thread - dark brown Optional Underbody - .010 0r .015 lead/non-lead wire wraps (for sinking version) or closed cell foam wraps (for floating version) Body - 1/4 dark brown chenille, 1/2 orange chenille, then 1/4 dark brown chenille Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These killed it for me on Soda Butte Creek back in the day (early 2000’s) when you could find space to stretch out and have some fun; those days are few and far between but the fly still works. They float, they’re visible and simple enough to tie that you won’t be afraid to cast them into the tightest spots where the trout live, and won’t risk drowning to retrieve one if it gets hung up.

Most interesting pattern by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Fluro but I do use mono for rib on occasion. With regards to pheasant tail wraps I just think they look better without a rib. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2022 Wow, great flies. @flytire - that's last looks really good, well they all look good, but I'd fish that one first. The barring/banding on the fibers looks great when wrapped. How is the peccary to work with - stiff? @WWKimba - nice looking woolley/wolly bears.

Out in the open it’s easy enough to see, but I also fish them under a lot of overhanging willows where the indicator makes it easier to spot in the shadows; also, on bright, sunny days glare can make it difficult for me to find the fly on the water.
