great looking bugs ! nice color patterens!
I agree with everyone else, those are some good-looking bugs!
great looking bugs
great looking flies
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.
BILL THOSE HUM BUGS LOOK TERRIFIC AND SHOULD BE GILL SLAYERS FOR SURE , GREAT LOOKING BUGS BUDDY.......
Great flies Bill. Love the 2 tone and all them legs.
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.
