Fly Tying the Woolly Bugger    This fly is a pattern that must be kept in the Bow River fly fisherman's fly box.   The fly should be heavily weighted to allow it to sink quickly.   It can also be used as an attractor pattern in merky water ...dead drift a large Woolly Bugger leading a smaller nymph in spring run-off.  This fly may be tied in light olive, rust, black, white, grey, purple, or wine colour.  A white Woolly Bugger followed by an olive Woolly Bugger is a great combo for streamer fishing the Bow River at any time of the year.  Materials Size 2 or 3XL 4-16 Wet Fly  1/8" Gold Bead Weight Wire (25mm) Black or Olive #8 Thread Black Marabou Black Krystal Flash Medium Olive Chenille Furnace Hackle    Tying Instructions     Pinch the barb and move a gold bead to the eye of the hook.  Wrap weighted wire around shank of the hook and push it into the bead hole to centre the bead.  Attach thread behind the weighted wire and wrap up to the bead to hold all nicely in place.   Tie in a clump of black marabou.    Tie in two strands of black Krystal flash on each side of the fly.   Peel off about 1/4 inch of chenille exposing the under-thread.  Attach the chenille by the under-thread.   Attach a furnace hackle in accordance with the size of the hook.  The hackle should be 1 1/2 the distance between the hook shank and the hook point.   Wrap the olive chenille forward forming a tapered body.   Palmer the furnace hackle through the body.  Put 3 wraps in just behind the bead.  Pull the hackle back and use the tying thread to force it rearward.   Add a drop of head cement completely around the thread to ensure that it does not unravel.   Copper or gold wire ribbing could be counter-wrapped on the fly holding the hackle in place.  It is good practise to do this as it basically makes the fly indestructible.
