Hook: Streamer #2-#6
Thread: Black 3/0
Body: Olive Chenille
Tail: Black Marabou with Krystal Flash
Hackle: 1 strip of black saddle hackle

Tying Instructions:
Before attaching your thread make sure to wrap on your lead. The amount of lead you use depends on how heavy you want the fly. I fish swift streams so I usually put two rows of lead on on the shank of my flies. Now attach your thread. Cut out a good amount of marabou for the tail. Then cut several strips of Krystal Flash and mix them in with your marabou tail fibers. The tail on the fly should be slightly shorter than the hook shank. Attach all the tail contents. Now attach your chenille in the same place as the tail. Attach one strip of black saddle hackle in the same location. Wrap your thread to the eye of the hook. Now wrap your chenille forward to just behind the eye of the hook and tie it down. Then wrap the saddle hackle to the same spot and tie it down. Tie off for your finished fly.

Fly Information:
This fly is one of the most popular flies there are. You can tie these in just about any color you want. They are meant to imitate a baitfish in the water. It is realy important to keep the tail short, if it is too long the fish will only grab the tail and you will never be able to hook them. Streamer fishing can be a real blast when the fish are taking them. The best time to use a wooly bugger is in the fall, but they can be used at all times throughout the year.
