Thanks Jere, I'll try it.

My "new and improved" wooly-bugger
for over here in Idaho is a rubber-legged wooly-bugger. Tie in the
rubber legs in the middle and flare them away from the body with thread
tension. (you do not want them against the body and hidden in the
material.) Include your rib of choice at the back. Wrap the
chenille (tight behind the legs and in between to secure them in
position) Wrap your hackle butt end from the head. I make two
turns up front to get the long, webby hackle up front and then palmer
back. Now the rib can spiral counter forward holding down the
hackle.(Not counter wrapped, but normal and it will be counter to the
hackle) If I do it right(sometimes) the hackle tip is entered into the
tail and left untrimmed. Rubber legs add life-like realism to the fly
and have been the "trigger" mechanism to the strike. You can
strip slow and get movement from the rubber legs. Another twist is to
drop off a length of chenille under the fly at the back.(bend the end
portion of chenille over the thread and draw it up under the hook at the
base of the tail. Then the chenille that you wrap. After
wrapping towards the front with the chenille, next pull the under chenille
forward and tie off at the front. This makes a two tone body.
You can be light colored under and dark over- whatever. One of my
successful lake producers is to tie these flies SMALL. I like a
#14 3xLong (9672) Most everyone else is fishing the pattern much
larger. Jere

Hi- I've had some luck there in the past on a olive
wooly bugger & an olive scud; fished slow & deep this time of
year. I've been told that a Christmas chronomid is good there
although I haven't tried it yet. I tie it as follows: white bead
head, body of bright green holographic tinsel, red wire or red tinsel
rib & peacock herl thorax. I may come over this week-end if
the forecast gets a little better-let me know if you're fishing it &
maybe we can meet up - Bill Hamilton- I've also heard that a red chron.
is good.

I was out on Lone Lake yesterday at
Whidbey Island. I got one on a black chironomid and that was
it. Others around me seemed to be catching a few fish.
Can anyone help me with patterns that might work on Lone
Lake?
