The Copper Bully
Gammarus: No sea trout box should be without a small Gammerus imitation, and the Copper Bully is one of the most efficient and easily tied ones. Consisting of very few materials in this version, it hardly gets any easier. It can also be a scud or a cress bug in a tight spot.

Tying instructions
- Tie in a some lead or tungsten as a keel.
- Tie in a small ball of red SLF.
- Tie in a small tufft of sandy colored SLF.
- Cut the stem out a grizzle say hackle. Tie it in.
- Tie in a some sand/seal colored SLF. Make a few turns.
- Make a neat little knot on every leg to make them become more lively.
- Tie in the first pair of legs.
- Tie in the eyes on each side of the shank.
- Tie in the ribbing.
- Make one wrap of the sandy colored mix.
- Tie some sandy colored SLF and the first pair of legs. Continue doing that. Three pairs if the hook is normal length and 4 pairs if the hook is 1x-2x long.
- Take a rubber band. 3-4 times the hook lengt. On the middle, you make a small loop and tie it sown at the hook eye.Repeat, so you now have 4 rubber legs starting from two loops at the eye.
- Hold the 4 rubber bands tight and lock them wirh the rib and the hook bend. Make the ribbing come forward in nice turns. The turns should become slightly more narrow as they approach the hook eye.
- Form a nice little head and whipfinish.
- Brush the fly throughly so the fibres sticks out and it gets a transparent look.
- Mark the legs and back with small dots from a black pen.
- Mark the dubbing at the hook bend with an olive pen.
