Thread: Brown Woolly Bugger - A use for leftover hooks...

Had a leftover Aberdeen hook, so I tied a brown woolly bugger. Actually, I have a bunch of leftover #4 Aberdeen hooks.



It's the first fly that I've tied in a few years.

Materials:

• Mustad 3261 Aberdeen hook (#4).
• Lion Suede Chenille - mocha color.
• UTC Ultra Thread (brown) - 140 denier.
• Brown neck hackles (2).
• Brown marabou feather.

Simple to tie and should catch a fish. Smallmouth bass are reported to like these.

Nice ! tie some more , use those hooks !

Great colors! Yeah, SMB will love that little guy. Perfect bugger.

Thanks Guys. Next, it's off to olive, orange, and sage colors.

don t forget black

Ya got me drooling...............
Off to tie me something........

C-mon SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's as far as I'm going with olive. Really needed some olive hackle, but brown should do OK. Next, it's on to a black woolly bugger.

AF - I took your advice and tied in some eyes behind the eyelet. Thank you for your suggestions.

Nice ties Okie.Smallies will eat it. I bought some #6 and#8 aberdeen sickles that have a staight eye.Cheaper than regular fly hooks,should make some good buggers with them.

some very nice flys. ive tried but just grab the concept of it..... so i just stick to the jigs lol sounds funny i know

Last bugger for a while. Cut a silver bead chain for the eyes.



Fun to tie. Can't wait to grab a fly rod this spring.
