Re: [VFB] Wooly Bugger Tie In Question

[Carl Kocian]

I strip a little of the fuzzies from the chenille leaving only the thread base which I then tie in so that the fuzzies begin at the start of the hook bend. I then tie in the hackle tip so that the pulled back part of the hackle is about where the fuzzies start. My first wrap of the chenille is behind the hackle tie in point and then wrapped forward so that the first hackle wrap comes out between two wraps of chinille. This way the hackle  doesn't fall off the back of the chenille.   Carl Kocian AKA 'wet butt' ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Alexander To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 11:51 PM Subject: [VFB] Wooly Bugger Tie In Question Folks: When tying in the hackle and the chenille at the back of a wooly bugger, do ya'll tie them in at 180 degrees apart from each other???? Tie them in at the same spot??? if so, top of the shank?? side?? bottom????.. Also, do you wrap one farther to the front (or back) than the other so it might wrap the hackle in with the chenille spirals right????? Thanks in advance.....Also... I thought about an exacto knife and will try that, but anyway, different question.. When you tie off a hackle quill, and a tiny length of that quill sticks out past the thread wraps, and the fish don't mind, cause I'm just talking 1/32th  inch or 1/64th an inch of quill here, but to make the fly look "perfect".. and to clip that tiny amt (WITHOUT cutting into the thread), what is the best thing to clip that tiny quill with???? Thanks again,  Chuck   That's a LOT of questions for one question huh????   And I have Miles To Go Before I Sleep....
