Guest Report post Posted January 23, 2005 OK, here is my version. I thought I'd try to "salmonize" the venerable Wooly Bugger and give a more flowing look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GHow 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 First attempt at this tie while watching the Eagle / Falcons game. It's modeled after a post I looked at a few days ago. I didn't bookmark the pattern and I searched today and couldn't find it. Maybe some can set the link in a reply here. You tie up a bugger on a long shank, clip the off the hook point and tie it to the mother hook with a mono loop. His looked better but beauty doesn't matter to them slimmy brown bass. I wonder if there will be an earthquake in PA if the Steelers win? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 Here's a pic of my glass bead bugger, with my secret home blended dubbing (Angora). Fairly quick to tye, and I also do them in grey, root beer, olive and smi-transparent. I'm going to do 20 of these for the bugger swap and I can honestly say that I have caught many rainbows, browns, bass and one Atlantic salmon with these buggers.

Rob Knisely 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 Hey Graham, coupla questions... Does that glass-bead bugger tend to ride hook-point up? Do you put the dubbing in a loop and wrap up/between each bead, or just loosely/tightly dub between each? Looks good! TroutBum: very nice! I might try a couple of those, but the only salmon and steelhead in Kentucky are in the frozen aisle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgj 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 graham, I tie a similar fly, though I use az simi seal dubbing, usually brown or black w/ matching marabou tail. it's a good fly. mgj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peddler 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 Wow!!! Those are some VERY nice ties! Can we look forward to receiving copies in Shoe's swap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 Hey Rob, The hook stays down. I blend the dubbing, use a thread dubbing loop, spin it up, yes, the thread winds over the beads, but I follow up with a wire palmered very tightly, which secures the thread. I can post pictures of my other colors. If I only had one fly to fish with I would probably choose one of these buggers. Still water and moving, north America and south.
