I can't remember where I first saw this fly, but it has caught a lot of bass, both LMB & SMB. It's an easy tie as you might figure by looking at it, cuz it's nothing more than an olive wooly bugger with bead chain back, thus making it virtually weedless. This one is tied on a Mustad 9672 size 6, and the bead chain is 1/8" diameter. I buy my bead chain at the hardware store. I lay down a good thread base with some Ca glue, tie in the bead chain and more Ca glue to lock it in. Wrap the chenille forward with two wraps between each bead then whip finish the head. Noticeably missing is the hackle. I had it come off a fly once and kept fishing the fly without it. I kept catching bass, so my next tie was without the hackle. You can add it if you want, but it works fine without it. I color the bead chain with an olive Prisma Color marker, but it's not necessary. Try it both ways.
