Thanks for viewing this UA-cam fly fishing tutorial, and I encourage you to view my additional videos at the following website: www.troutandfea...
Sometimes, the quote "back-to-basics" is appropriate, and there is no better fly to remind us of that than the Woolly Bugger. This fly has a place in every fly fisherman's fly box, plus the majority of those new to fly tying have undoubtedly cut their teeth on this pattern. For this tutorial, I offer the original tie, but with a few minor variations; I invite you to share any of your own in these comments or as a video response.
The hook featured in this fly tying tutorial is from Allen Fly Fishing and I recommend you checking it out for your tying needs.
This pattern is one of those I feature in the "Two Minute Tying" series. These flies are more of "guide flies," meaning they can be tied in a short amount of time, and more importantly, catch fish.
If you have any thoughts or questions based on this video, please leave them down below in the "Comments" section or you can email me: tcammisa@gmail.com
Fly fishing for beginners can be difficult at first, thus be sure to stick with it and ask others for advice. If in the need for some helpful tips and other fly tying and fly fishing information, be sure to check out my "Trout and Feather" accounts on Facebook and Instagram.

Tied a red and gold with black legs and tail. Caught a 5 pond bass first day. Sold for life!! I think the legs help too. Thanks. Fishing for Life.
Legs are key, at least for me. Glad it worked and what a GREAT bass you got...congrats! Tim
Thanks for the suggestion; I've never tried the fly that way but will see how it works!
Thanks for the comments, Tommy; I bought the material on ebay, after completing searches for "chickabou" and "barred marabou." The package that I had purchased was called "variegated," hence my usage of that word in the video (though many will be called "barred"). If you want the name of the actual seller on this auction site, let me know via email and I will happily share. Thanks again!
That sounds pretty darn close to a bugger, Steve! Do you keep the chenille the approximate length that you would tie in marabou or is this a shorter tail? It sounds similar to a Woolly Worm, though the burnt piece is definitely interesting!
Thanks, Steve; I LOVE the use of the koosh ball! Great ideas, for sure; thanks again for the comments.
Thanks for the comments, Riley; olive is absolutely an excellent color for buggers! TC
Hey Tim, great video. I'm a big wooly bugger fan myself. I'm wondering where you got the barred marabou, it's definitely something I would like to add to my buggers. Any chance you could tell me where you bought it? Thanks, Tommy
Hi Tim, Nice video. The marabou you used looked more like Whiting's Chickabou. If not, where did you purchase marabou on a skin?
Thanks for the comment, Ralph, and I believe that piece is from Alsdorf Genetic. The owner, Joel Alsdorf, is always coming up with neat colors for his marabou and I THINK that's where I purchased that piece in the video. I frequent many fly tying and fly fishing events, thus I am always on the lookout for unique pieces like that one. I hope that helps, and if you contact Joel, tell him I said hi! Tim
Thanks Tim ... I’m preparing for a late season Yellowstone trip ... your pattern will be a great addition ... my variation will be that I’m tying it with lead free weighted wire ... park regulations prohibit the use of lead ... thanks again ... I’ve learned a lot from your videos.
You're welcome, Mark, and thanks for mentioning the lead-free wire. Good luck on your trip and be sure to email me with your success! tcammisa@gmail.com Tim
re Adding weight to hooks. Surprise, surprise copper wire is slightly heavier than lead substitute of identical diam.and more surprise copper is much much, cheaper than lead substitute.
+awalt26439 Great comment, as I did not know that. Do you know of any environmental impacts it may have? Thanks for this tip. TC
Try the same pattern, but without the chenille, just give it a thick layer of thread. I prefer it.
Awesome shirt Tim! Eldridge Bros. is a great fly shop in southern Maine. Thanks for all the great videos.
Thanks, Christopher; Eldredge Brothers is definitely a great shop! I appreciate the kind comments. Tim
Hey Tim a great idea for bluegill is to tie these in sizes 18-22 with a bead head and fish them with a studdering slow strip retrieve close to the shore
That is a great idea, Jakob; thanks for sharing. I especially like how you fish the fly back in on the retrieve. Tim
Pattern, pattern and pattern.
Hi John, and hope you like this one! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
You're welcome Len; thanks!
cool pattern do you sell the flies that you tie on the tube???
+Trouta Holic I do sell some flies that I tie on UA-cam; do you mean the actual fly featured in the video, or a dozen of that particular pattern. If you're interested, please feel free to email me for more information: tcammisa@gmail.com
I have to admit that I'm a sucker for the brass bead head. Don't know what it is but.....
Ha ha, Ray, I know what you mean! Have you tried the coneheads on a bugger yet? They add a little more weight and maintain the streamlined look. Tim
I have not. But since you're recommending them....and it doesn't take much for me to spend some dough on tying materials. I guess I have no choice but to put in a order.
Ha ha! You have a choice, Ray...but I really like them!
Nice
Thanks, Rita! Love Woolly Buggers, too? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Tim I tied this variation but instead I used olive marabou and it works great for bluegill, thanks for showing us this variation.
Thank you for sharing:-)
Very well done and explained !
+PRACERZ Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! TC
do like buggers with legs or without???
+Trouta Holic I like both, and tend to use rubber legs for sure when fishing stillwater. In moving water, I don't believe it has as large of an impact, but if I'm going to strip the bugger, then I will opt for with rubber legs. What about you? Tim
flash and movement.
+Trouta Holic Well said...
since your from PA , do you ever follow Jim Misiura on you tube , he is from your area.or state.
+Trouta Holic I watch some of his videos; Jim does a nice job.
