By "bugger" you mean that this is a wooly bugger swap, right? If so, is there room remaining? The hardest part will be finding hackle of the right size... I'm not used to tying much larger than a 12 these days, and my hackle is mostly saddles with very few "big 'uns" for the wooly buggers. Time to go to the shop for more hackle!! As if I needed a reason... Body would be a metallic green, pseudo-peacock herl... but a shade lighter in color than the natural stuff, just barely. Dubbing similar to ice dub, but sourced from Fly Tyer's Dungeon (no affiliation, just stating the source for the material). Let me know if I'm in, please, -Pete
