A wooly bugger is fine I haven't done any yet. I have so many things I want to do I just have a hard time realizing I'm just getting started and have to ease into them.

I have a request but I think I'll wait till everyone gets settled in.

On Wooly Buggers, I tend to use bead chain for "eyes" more than a bead head.  You can also use a cone head bead.

Wooly Buggers are one of those things you should always have in your fly box.  I have several; some in Olive, some in Chartreuse, and a couple in Black.  I've found that the Olive color, with the bead chain, tends to imitate a dragonfly nymph, and gets inhaled.  I've even caught LMB on those in a size 8.  I've tied some Chartreuse ones, as I've noticed that Green Sunfish will attack anything in that color.  Black Wooly Buggers are a good Leach imitation, so in waters where leaches are present can be good.

Sounds like a good Idea Tooty - I'll work on that for a start. Anyone interested in learning on how to tie or just need a refresher on a Wooly Bugger just send me a message. What else you all like might like to see. I know Jim G in interest in Carp flies so that could be our second fly to tie- Jim can you pick one and I will tie it or you can, what do you think Jim?. Send me PM on other flies you would like to see tied and I add them to the list of future flies to be tied in advance so folks know what is coming up. During that time I will be tying and posting various flies.
