Tying a Black Whooly Bugger
A simple sequence of a black wholly bugger being tied for our Pyramid trip. What is interesting is that I burned 4 or 5 marabou quills looking for a straight tail edge and all I could find in the whole packet of feathers were these low-grade ones with all the frilly edges. Bummer. I also did not realize that I was completely out of saddle hackle in the correct size so the hackle used is grossly oversized, Don’t think the fish will mind as long as the bugger looks like it is swimming.
As previously mentioned, I am going to hit up the fly shop and invest into a much better quality set of feathers. You get what you pay for! Anyone need some poor quality feathers? Don’t even know if they are worth the cost of shipping.
