I call this the Ugly Damsel but it is a woolly bugger varient.
• Hook: Size 4-8, straight wet fly or nymph hook. A normal to short shank hook is required for the fly to “work” correctly.
• Thread: Olive, Chartreuse, Tan, Beige or other fairly neutral color
• Tail: Olive marabou. (can be tied with other colors – black and brown being good additional options)
• Body: Dubbing or fuzzy yarn that matches tail color.
• Rib: Green, chartreuse or red wire.
• Hackle: Olive/olive grizzly saddle hackle (or hackle to “match” body/tail)
• Eyes: Red or yellow dumb bell eyes – weight to match conditions/fly size.
• Legs: Centipede legs or other “rubber” legs. Barred Olive or yellow work best on the olive bodied fly, but I have used other colors. Generally starting with color close to the body of the fly is a good start, but don’t be afraid to try other colors.

Tail: grizzly marabou with 6-8pcs of flash
Body: Med olive chenille
Rib: wooly bugger feather with gold wire
Bead: Gold

ok, second post and my first fly (actually third one ever!). I didn't have seal fur but it is a variation on this pattern:
Green Seal Bugger
Hook: Mustad R74 Size 8
Thread: 8/0 Olive
Weight: 0.015 Lead
Tail: Black Marabou
Rib: Medium Copper Wire
Body: Green Seal Dubbing
Hackle: Burnt Orange Grizzly
I used a #6 Streamer hook and Green Olive Dubbing, two strips of crystal flash added as well. I have problems finding Hackle (like everyone) so it was just a ginger strung neck hackle.

Mathew 4:19: And he said to them, "Follow Me, for I will make you fishers of men".
John 21:3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Hook: size 10-12 mustad R50
Tail: grizzly marabou with 6-8pcs of flash
Body: Med olive chenille
Rib: wooly bugger feather with gold wire
Bead: Gold
Does it have two hooks? because it looks there is a hook eye in the middle.

No. Like a Balanced Leech pattern, you tie in a pin "borrowed" from the wife quilting supplies.

Hello everyone,
I made this fly up last year for a couple of buddies looking for something different to use on the Niagara River while steelheading. I called it 'Nuclear Bugger'.
Use whatever size hook you prefer for a normal bugger.
Body is charteuse chenille
Hackle: blach genetic
Tail: Marabou
