This one looks like some fun, thought I might join in and throw one out there.

Spear Lake Special

Other than the obvious, fly has an ice peacock dubbed body, polar bear overwing, griz hackle.

Caught a lot of trout on this one.

Depending upon need, it can be an Olive Mohair Leech or, in this case, it will pass for an Olive Mohair Bugger. :)

 

I just call it the G.C.G or grass carp gitter.

Hi,

 

I´ve tied a pattern close to the bugger. Maybe you could call it a bugger.

My goal was to solve the problem with long fox, which wind around the hook bend while casting.

Especially, when you try to cast quite far against heavy wind, like we do when we fish for seatrout in the baltic sea.

 

I named it Wiggle-Fox.

The technique is well known when tying nymphs, like mayfly nymphs, but I don´t know a pattern which was tied like this for seatrout.

 

Materials:

 

Gamakatsu F314 # 6

a hook shank

mono for ripping (I use fluorocarbon)

mono for the connection

marble fox

SLF dubbing mixed with SLF Prism

crystal flash

Keough grizzly saltwater cape

tungsten bead

OK, so I'll throw the monkey wrench into the works, even though it's a bit different, I think it still qualifies, you guys decide. I have a PDF of tying instructions also, if you would like a copy, just let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

 

Tongue Depressor - An especially effective patterns for Smallmouth Bass. I call this fly a “Modern Wooly Bugger”, it has taken all types of fish from Alaska to the Caribbean. A simple, yet very effective fly that rides hook up with a distinct side-to-side wobbling action.

 

Tongue Depressor: A Trademarked Pattern of Bill Sherer
