Great quality video,its still an estaz bugger though, good guide fly I add a counter wrap rib for durability

It certainly looks like it'll get the job done. Thanks for sharing.

Very sharp video! I watch tons of fly tying videos and have several pet peeves about the videos, but this has been one of the most enjoyable to watch! Keep up the good work!

Wow thanks Jamin! I appreciate the feed back. I definitely think I found a style I like and will continue putting out videos. Thanks for watching!

Cool fly. Still a wooly bugger variant with modern materials. I decided one spring I was going to fish the black Wooley bugger exclusively until terrestrial season. I did well fished in creeks mostly. I learned presentation is more important than most realize.

This is a mad tutorial, better than most youtubers and actually explains in depth

This is similar to a comet pattern that I tie. You can use the marabou that is above the tail to form the body, a couple of turns of brown hackle behind the bead and you're good to go. Pink marabou for pink salmon, red for coho. You can probably crank out 10-15 an hour.

Loved the pattern. Will have to the one up.

Thanks Keith! Definitely worth a tie!

That golden olive UV Estaz, I think, adds significant color combined with that marabou and flashabou.

I do all my bugger style flies with dubbing brushes. Quick, easy and no messing with hackles and capes.

Hi Jesse, nice pattern & video. Since you showed me this pattern, I’ve been tying the Golden Retriever with gold or silver Estaz with a fluorescent red thread underbody just as in the original. After seeing you tie this one tying in olive Estaz with the usual wide spacing, it occurred to me that tying this with a chartreuse thread underbody might be effective. Have you ever tried this? If you do, please let me know. I’m still not able to fish to test it myself, & I only want to give successful flies to the Wounded Warriors group I tie for. Thanks. Bob.

Hey Bob, I have not use it with the color combination but i see no reason it would't work. Chartreuse is a great color that's used all over for many species

awesome..... simple quick tie

Which fly tying vise do you use?

I would say this, if you change to jig hook and a slot tungsten your bug will ride hook up true, always. This fly seems like it would spin. The bead throws away any keel you might get from the hook.

Yes, I actually love to fish this one like that! Haven’t had the other spin on me but I'll have film one tying it on a jig hook. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great looking fly. What time of the year would you use this fly in northern Maine?

I like it best in Spring and Fall. However, Its a great general pattern that can be sized down in the summer for smaller fish. I'll post another version I like to fish with soon

It definitely has a very similar profile I’ll give you that. However, the materials and methods used to tie it make it a distinct pattern as far as fly classification goes.

Naaaa....nothing compares to a Wooly Bugger... You can toss it into the river tied to a brick and will catch something!!!! LOL!!! Anyways...nice fly...good video!

There’s no hackle, the body is wrapped to show the color of the thread underneath, the tail is considerably longer.

@@MainelyFlies I really really want to like the wooly bugger, and streamers in general. however from my experience on the Provo river in Utah if i spend 12 hours fishing streamers on a given day, AM to PM sort of deal. I MIGHT catch 1 fish. I will see many fish move to intercept them, but they never take them, however if I drop the bugger and tie on a blood worm, I will consistently catch 5 to 10 fish an hour. if I nymph I'll catch even more.
