Ray, I
have to agree with Tom on the multi-color point. I only fish fresh
water. I've found that my favorite wooley bugger is chocolate &
olive or black. I can see Tom's point in the multi-color marabou tail on
this fly - you can really see the action when you're stripping it - plus, the
chocolate & olive body creates good contrast for the mottled
look.

Ray:
As a confirmed marabou junkie for our winter and spring steelhead here in N.W. WA., I believe the "action" of marabou is accentuated by tying bicolored flies.
Typically I tie a dark color in front of a lighter color. The darker color, waving and shivering in the current over the lighter colored aft portion of the fly accentuates the "action" marabou is famous for.
Check it out in the water . . . it is anything but subtle.
Tom
