Had a leftover Aberdeen hook, so I tied a brown woolly bugger. Actually, I have a bunch of leftover #4 Aberdeen hooks.

It's the first fly that I've tied in a few years.
Materials:
- Mustad 3261 Aberdeen hook (#4).
- Lion Suede Chenille - mocha color.
- UTC Ultra Thread (brown) - 140 denier.
- Brown neck hackles (2).
- Brown marabou feather.
Simple to tie and should catch a fish. Smallmouth bass are reported to like these.
Nice ! tie some more , use those hooks !
Great colors! Yeah, SMB will love that little guy. Perfect bugger. :)
Thanks Guys. Next, it's off to olive, orange, and sage colors. :)

Here's as far as I'm going with olive. Really needed some olive hackle, but brown should do OK. Next, it's on to a black woolly bugger.
AF - I took your advice and tied in some eyes behind the eyelet. Thank you for your suggestions. :cool:
Nice ties Okie.Smallies will eat it. I bought some #6 and#8 aberdeen sickles that have a staight eye.Cheaper than regular fly hooks,should make some good buggers with them.
some very nice flys. ive tried but just grab the concept of it..... so i just stick to the jigs lol sounds funny i know
Last bugger for a while. Cut a silver bead chain for the eyes.

Fun to tie. Can't wait to grab a fly rod this spring.
I use bead chain as well. You can find a couple different sizes if you look around. I recently found some that are brass color. :cool: IMO, bead chain is easier to deal with than beads or cone heads.Quote:

I think that a white bugger has some promise. Been seeing traditional browns and greens for too long perhaps. Also, I like using bead chain for a weighted head. Very easy.
BTW, I know that you often use metallic threads. You might try Coats 60/40 Nylon to Polyester blend if you haven't done so already. It's available at many fabric and craft stores. I'm liking it more each time I use it. Small diameter and a pretty strong thread for a sewing metallic.
A guy can't have to many Woolly Buggers. :)
