And actually, my first hackled woolly bugger ever. In 14 seconds.
Charlie Craven has competition. How many Red Bulls did you chug before you turned on the camera?

Would have like to been able to see your work. I agree, to many redbulls…
Can you do another at realtime speed along with materials used
Sure! Can’t promise you it will be today, but will post.
Amuch better video. Good instruction but, the tail is only as long as the shank, not 2x. You could collect two plumes that are 2x hook shank and strip the first 1/2 tow tie to shank and still have shaft length tail. Simple mistake to fix. Otherwise, good going. Thanks for reposting
Nice video! I agree with what NewTyer said. Another piece of advice I would say is keep the distance between your bobbin and the hook shank a little smaller. That will give you more thread control. Also, I don’t know for sure but it looks you may have caught the hook point when your thread broke. Otherwise nice fly and nice video.
Yeah, thanks guys. I don’t know how I made the mistake about the tail being too long…
What does everyone do with the butt end of the plume when trimming a Maribou tail? Just toss it, or does it work on other woollies or whatever?
As a beginners dressing 10/10.
Trouble with tail length is a lot is personal preference.
Try some smaller buggers as well.
Here is a bugger article you might find interesting.

Have a look around on this site, there are other articles on Wooly Buggers. I like the John Buchan quote.
Awesome site! That grey Fred pattern looks deadly.
