Great pattern, Bill. The Humbug is one of my faves, and I find it less of a hassle to tie than the Wilson's own Bully Spider.

I also like the contrasting color scheme, personally believing it to be a trigger feature. I thin my Humbugs down a little by using small chenille, to give them a slim profile. Good looking H-Bugs - those are gonna catch fish, guaranteed.

Got busy at the tying bench this afternoon and came up with a new pattern for me from "Bluegill fly fishing and flies" by Terry and Roxanne Wilson

It's called a Hum bug

Hook: standard straight eye 6- 10

Body: Light colored chenille

Back: Black chenille

Thread: black

Legs: To match the colors you use.

Thanks bill I think a more fitting name is the birdsnest. Oh by the way thanks for bring back them old memories.

Oh yes how I remember them days. The reels have come a long way since my 5500C.
