Here is my recipe for my grubby bugger. It is a basic woolly bugger with a bead head and a curl tail. I’ve used it several times out and have caught everything from bass to carp and even a greedy bluegill with them.

Hook: size 8
Head: cone shaped bead head
Body: chartreuse pearl chenille
Hackle: chartreuse
Thread: chartreuse
Tail: back end off of a 1" curl tail grub

I changed my mind. My pattern is TBD. But I’ll leave this one up in case anyone is interested.
