Bead chain eye wooly bugger

The origins of the woolly bugger extend back to fly fishing antiquity, and the variations are endless. This is the “meat fly” because if you ever needed to rely on a fly to put meat on the table, this is it. The woolly bugger is impressionistic of a number of different types of fish food.

For Crappies #4 hook.....for 'Gills #8 hook. Tie in bronze bead chain eyes (leave 1/16 inch to finish tying hackle feather.)

Create your own variation of color and presentation This was my interpretation


Hook: Streamer hook size 4 or size 6

Thread: red flat waxed nylon 3/0

Tail: Black and brown marabou with three strands of crystal flash

Body: brown and gold variegated chenille

Hackle: yellow saddle hackle

Variations: bead-chain eyes.


This is one of my "Go to" patterns. I nailed them at Lake Hartwell last week. 34 Crappies, 41 gills.

This has worked very well for me for the past few years. Thought I'd share it on thie forum.
