patterns
Chuck,
I know I'm a couple of days behind, but here's
the simplest pattern I've ever seen and it only adds one more material beyond
a simple wooly bugger - a strip of foam. Here's how it goes.
1)
Attach Thread and wind to tail.
2) Tie in a 1/4" wide strip of crawfish
colored foam. I used a more open cell stuff that was used to protect
hard drives at the time I frist started tieing these.
3) Tie up a wooly
bugger like you normally would, going heavy on the marabou tail.
4) Once
you've tied the wolly bugger, split the tail with the foam and use the foam as
the shellback. I'll leave alittle foam sticking out over the eye of the
hook sort of like a elk hair caddis' tail is.
BTW - Foam
FLOATS. You will have to weigh this down some (ok alot) for it to work
right BUT you can tie it hook point down yet still keep the hook off the
bottom since the foam will cause it to float up some.
Hope this
helps.
Garry

only last one cast, cause I gotta try to pull these outta some pretty heavy
cover sometimes, Chuck

- No, if you want the hook point(barb) to ride up, like a jig,
you would put the hook in your vise like you normally would to tie a fly,
the eyes would be tied in on the top of the hook, not the barb side.

- Jerry: I'll try that.. When you say things like tie in the eyes on
TOP of the shank, since it is being tied in with the barb UP then you
are actually tying these things on the barb side of the hook right???
Have I got that straight???? Thanks, Chuck
