    Rust Woolly Bugger size 6.

    Add a couple of long peacock herls to the tail.

    There are several recipes right here on FAOL, just need to go to the home page and do a search. Here's one I found that I've tied before with the exception of tying the pattern with the hook upside down in the vise to start with:

    I love the Hairy Fodder(larger rivers and lakes) and Dave Whitlocks nearenuf crayfish (fantastic for smaller streams). The action of the fly may be more important with the smallies than the composition of the fly.
