Never thought about repairing a bugger's tail before but I do have a few that the fish have chewed the tail down to nothing, going to give it a try thanks for the good idea ED

Hey Rick, I do that too...I actually tie on the body of the bugger first,
then, with only 5-8 tight wraps of heavy thread, attach a goodly amount of
marabou of the desired color to the back...Besides, since I use thread the
same color as the body of the bugger, the thread just blends in along with
the body...
I am also somewhat of an eccentric when it comes to 'throwing away' bad
flies. I just take a razor, hack away the body and the underthread and
retie...takes about 30 seconds to undo the fly an restart...
Fly-fishing is the venue by which man can return to his natural state of
sane thought where wilderness is beautiful and concrete is naught but a
force driving us into the stream...:-)
