No Feathers Allowed ? Woolly Bugger Swap

wayneb · December 4, 2008, 12:59pm

Hi Gigmaster;

Nice fly! How did you attach the body/imitation hackle? A dubbing loop?

Thanks in advance;

Wayneb

Yes. I used a dubbing loop.

If anyone is interested, I’ve made a set of instructions, complete with pictures. I’d be happy to send them to anyone who wants it. I thought I might submit it to FAOL. I got lucky once, on the Floating Head Minnow. Maybe I can do it again.

Not joining this swap, but will be interested to see pics of the ideas. I have an idea to use punch yarn as the tail, body and hackle. I’ll try it out when I get time???

Hay! Gig,
I’d like a copy of your recipe.

How did I miss this? I wanted to show off my Wooly bead head Buffler. From bison hair I picked up in Wyoming this past summer. Crappy picture, neat featherless fly. :eek: Maybe next time. Jimsnarocks
