BUBfly

*************************

I am using a Mustad 79580 4x long hook to tie it. This fly is a variation of the woolly bugger. To start the fly type the thread in at the eye of the hook.

The antennae are rubber legs like you would use to Blue Gill Flies. Tie the antennae on top of the hook and split at about 45 degrees.
The two tails are the same material as the antennae. They are also split at 45 degree.
Next add some lead weigh to the body so it will sink faster
For the body and palmer I use brown chenille. The hackle is a ginger saddle hackle. Tie both at the bend of the hook.
Now form the body by wrapping the chenille evenly over the hook between the tails and the antennae. Tie off the body behind the antennae
Palmer the hackle over chenille and tie off behind the antennae and glue the head.

The BUBfly is a fly from the September/October Edition of American Angler. The artical is by Chuck Tryon on page 50 to 53
