Schlappen Woolly Bugger

No comments yet

In this fly tying tutorial, I show an easy way to vary the Woolly Bugger, which is by substituting a schlappen hackle for the traditional saddle hackle. The former consists of a marabou butt section, plus has very webby hackle throughout. I encourage you to try some flies with this hackle, plus wet them when finished at your bench (like I do in this video) to see how they will look in the water.

Featured in this tutorial are the S403 streamer hooks by Allen Fly Fishing; they can be found here: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/s403-nymph-streamer-3xl/

Additionally, if you are interested in schlappen hackle, I suggest you try Clearwater Hackle; the link is: http://www.clearwaterhackle.com/

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
