looking for patterns

[BillMc]

I am looking for these two fly patterns:
G-bug
Ginger Midgabou
They are flies used on Lake Taneycomo.

Went to Google Images and came up with this site that shows a picture of the two flies but no recipe.

Looking at the pics of the G-Bug, it looks like a variation of a Wolly Bugger. I think it looks like a Marabou Tail, dubbed with a long fiber dubbing (antron, goat, etc.) and teased out after wrapping a gold rib. One way to figure it out would be to buy a package of three and study them closly. If you cannot figure it out that way, disassemble one of them carefully (unwinding the thread and taking it apart piece by piece) and then reverse the steps to make new ones.

The Midgabou looks similar to an emerger midge pattern. Might just be the colors that are productive (Ginger feathers used) on the water you are looking at and not the particular fly itself.

Just my 2 cents.
