Fly Patterns
WOOLLY BUGGER
Hook: Mustad 9672, sizes 2-6
Thread: Black
Tail: Black marabou
Body: Fluorescent green chenille, lead wire under front one-third
Ribbing: Fine stainless steel wire oss-wrapped over hackle
Hackle: Blue dun, palmered over body
This is a slight modification of the pattern described in Vol. 2 of The Western Fly Tying Manual by Jack Dennis. The wire greatly increases the life of the hackle and adds some flash. This is an execellent steelhead, Dolly Varden, and rainbow trout producer. Effective color variations used are all black, all brown, and fluorescent orange.
