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.

Comment by dick tabbert on November 30, 2012 at 10:00pm

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

Supper Allen - dig through your box I'd like to see some of the one you are talking about buddy

Comment by Allen Morgan on November 30, 2012 at 4:43pm

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.

Two weeks from today we will be tying the (Backstabber carp fly ) This is to Carp like the Adams fly is to Trout.

I will be tying this fly and hope other will tie it and post their ties..

This is what you will need to tie a Wooly Bugger

Any color - Wooly Bugger
Recipe:
Hook: Streamer or nymph hooks sizes 2-8
Bead: Brass or tungsten
Lead: Size 0.020
Thread: to match color choice 6/0
Body: Large tensile chenille (optional)
Rib: Brassie silver wire or any color you have on hand.
Tail:  marabou
Hackle:  saddle hackle
Be brave! Change thread, chenille, marabou, and hackle colors for other useful variations.

The first fly we hope to tie as a group is a Wooly Buggar an is the Pic on the group at the moment and will be changed every two weeks when we start a new fly.

Comment by Mark Sleeper on November 30, 2012 at 11:39am

Hi Rick thanks for the post on the flies ,  both do a great job on the tying vid and are  easy to understand.Ps my pic thats me holding a jawbreaker and fish

Comment by Rick King on November 30, 2012 at 11:12am

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.
