D-Bugger
Fly Materials
| Tail | Grizzly marabou feather, dyed "sand" or "gold" (Wapsi). |
| Body | Medium brown/yellow variegated chenille |
| Rib | Fine copper wire. |
| Hackle | Spencer - grizzly dyed golden ginger (email for source) |
Tying Instructions

Tying tips: Tie in the rib at the back, before the chenille, then wrap the chenille forward and tie off. Tie in the base of the hackle, then wrap back to the end of the body. Counter-wrap the wire forward over the hackle and tie off. This will greatly increase the life of this fly, especially on brown trout. Use the lighter, finer surface hackles for this fly, then use the darker, webbier underlying ones with brown chenille, brown-dyed grizzly marabou, and a black bead for a chocolate-hue pattern.
This is the current version of my idea of the perfect woolly bugger. |
