Evolution of The WORLD’S BEST Fly Pattern! (Wooly Bugger)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Here is a modern and classic version of the Wooly Bugger, arguably one of the most popular and successful fly patterns out there. Created by Russell Blessing back in 1967. I thought it would be fun to compare how they were originally tied to a more modern version with all the bells and whistles. This one’s a bit over the top and leans much more toward a Crystal Bugger (Use of Estaz instead of chenille), but using the technique of wrapping the hackle backward and counter-wrapping with wire is a common practice in modern Wooly Buggers, even in more traditional ones, to increase durability. Anyway, I thought this would be a fun comparison. Let me know in the comments which one you’re fishing!

What fly would you fish? Also, the Crystal bugger is now up on the website for those who dont tie or just want to support my work: www.mainely-outdoors.com/product-page/crystal-wooly-bugger
I would fish both. The white one on a bright day in clear water. The black one on an overcast day or in stained water.
Going out tommorow to a stream i thought had a huge kill off but appearntly is fishing well now that temps dropped down. Plan on used a shop-vac, jack daniels, and a frenchie. Ill be taking by euro rod, dry rod and streamer rod, but the dry and streamer rods are only if i get really bored. Either way, should be a good day.
Suck the water out of the stream with the shop vac, drink the Jack Daniel’s and then get it on with your Frenchie! Oo la la! That’s fishing.
@@tomt5176 caught 4 friend caught 7, but funny enough, i didnt fish the shop-vac or JD. Still had a great day though.
Thank you! I made my first fly today cause of you!

Trying to get into the season of Halloween here in Hawaii! Aloha braddah!🤙🏽
Officially calling this version the Omilu Reaper
Looks similar to a Jumping Jack: A small all-black tide pool fish found here in Hawaii. About the size of your pinky finger. It's very quick when startled, and likes to jump from one tide pool to another to escape predators.
Omilu: is our name for 5-20 pound sized trevally's here in Hawaii. Ours is a beautiful blue and green color along with the usual strong white and silver on its main body. Some variants include black, yellow, all silver, etc. The never really get up to 40+ pounds unless it's the White Trevally or the Black Trevally
Nice job. I do a lot of junk flies. They work pretty good.
This looks like an awesome fly to tie before work! I appreciate you sharing this video! Tight lines! 😎🎣
You always make that look so easy. Thanks I really enjoy your videos.
I use both but prefer to tye them in purple w/ & w/o a beadhead. W/o a beadhead, they swim in the 1-3 foot range off a floating line & w/ a beadhead, they swim 5-9 feet deep.
modern is fly! 🙌🙌
Do you plan on partridge hunting on your other channel soon?

I’ve always thought the long hackle on the “traditional” wooly worm / wooly bugger was weird. More than a decade ago I began just using crystal chenille for the body with either just a couple of wraps behind the head or no hackle at all. Still catches!
