Bob Borden's simplified version of a Royal Wulff; the original Beetle Bug itself was a simplified Royal Coachman, subbing red floss for the floss/peacock body. Borden's calls for Hareline Fluorescent Red dubbing (supposed to turn brown when wet); didn't have any so I mixed some plain red and hot pink rabbit. Also supposed to use Coachman brown hackle, but mine appears to have gone missing (time to spend an hour in the basement re-organizing my stuff) so I subbed brown.
Lost all the pics for the winging section, but it's just a standard Wulff - you can use the Thunderhead sequence as a reference http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/s...hunderhead-SBS
