Ima,
Don Ordes (his site is fantasyflies.com I believe) likes to kid around and uses some wacky names as his alter-egos like Buggs, Dr. Demento, Veronica, when he jokes. DonO is an excellent fly tyer and invented a technique called rope dubbing which is explained at VirtualFlybox.com. It is truly an innovative way to apply dubbing and prodes a very nicely segmented body.
Be aware that we joke around sometimes but not when it comes to learning how to tie flys. Some days the technical jargon gets very serious and different tyers have various ways to accomplish tying a particular pattern. You have found a very informative group of expert to novice tyers with methods you can only learn here...unmentioned in Benchside Reference.
The easy but effective patterns I would invite you to learn first include Tony Spezio's WRD, Byard's Killer Caddis and I'll let others suggest more. My thousands of flys are over-kill obsession as most of my fishing is down to a few patterns; #18 Yellow Humpy for brookies, #16 tan caddis for rainbows, #12 olive woolybugger for steelhead and #16 Adams with a #16 Killer Caddis dropper for browns. I reserve the right to change this list and love soft hackles as well.

- David,
- I am not sure if I understand why Buggs are on a short leash. What does that mean? What do these people have to do with tying?
- Thank you for the reply.
