Fuzzle Flies

Something I ran across, and it might be old hat, but the style certainly looks like it has merit. Those Aussies are a creative lot. Here is a pic of an early attempt I made of the Fuzzle Bugger.

Kind of reminds me of a Mohair Leech, but more flexibility in colors, and textures.

I used Olive Marabou, Light Olive Chenille, and Umpqua Sparkle Blend Frosty Olive, and Hot Orange thread.
Here is a link to an article on the technique and a bunch of different Fuzzles.

The Fuzzle Bugger is a cool looking fly! I was thinking that the USB material would possibly work for Dragonfly nymphs?http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...y/bottomwa.gifhttp://www.bcadventure.com/adventure...y/bottomwa.gif

Doug,

I should think it would. I chose the Sparkle Blend for a little contrast against the chenille, though the author recommends darker underbody vs. lighter dubbing, which I seem to have gotten backward. I read on another board where Ice Dub, and other mylar type dubbings were being used to good effect. The article doesn't say so directly, but there is a product being marketed down under called Fuzzle Dub. I don't know if it is available stateside or not.

Looks positively rude *hehe hahaha* must try it out *hehe* mind you the mohair will flutter around giving it life in the water.....good fly.....

In this video you will see that while the dubbing does act as a veil of sorts, it also does flex and move a bit during the pause.
