Mr. Flagler, as a new fly tyer, many thanks to you and Tightlinevideo. This video is nothing short of amazing. Your calm and in depth instruction is perfect. After watching this I immediately subscribed to your channel. Your teaching style will definitely help me to understand and improve my tying skills. Thank you and God bless.

Absolutely the best tying videos I’ve seen on KZfaq. Great camera work, dialogue and explanation, identifying components by brand, size, etc. Thanks!

Great job as always. I started learning to tie in the late 70's. There were very few resources back then. Now you just search KZfaq and instantly see an expert tie a fly! So much easier!

Speaking for myself only, that color and Gold bead , chenille, hackle except for my preferring a cone is the most productive bugger I’ve ever used. Your tie is is a good lesson in method.

This is a perfect way to tie a bugger! I've never had one last more than a couple fish and a day of fishing when the wire is all that is holding the hackle in place.

That's a great looking Bugger, Tim.

I’m getting a strange sense of déjà vu from this

Never had much luck with the olive WB but love a black WB built just like the olive on you tied.

Exactly what I've come to expect from tightlinevideo. Thank you for yet another amazing pattern!!!

i'm a new tier, so, thank you for that lesson, I really appreciate it!

Tim. That is a great Bugger variation and just how I like them. I’ll try this pattern out in some different colours too. Thank you for another one dude.

I like using wire in place of thread to counterwrap the hackle

These videos are the Best and the main reason I got started tying my own wooly buggers. I fish mine on sinking line and strip the bugger back, there's no doubt when you get a strike it's almost like bass fishing I Love it!

Loved it, look forward to trying me own!

Nicely done.

Your videos are superb

Excellent tying

I like to run one thread of the sparkle down each side

I usually add a small drop of UV resin at the tail wraps of thread for protection. I might consider using a colored resin for next year's spring trout run and see how it goes. My summer fishing is usually small native brookies if I am targeting trout, in waters where a woolly bugger really shouldn't go.

I don’t use cheneile with my buggers. And I counter wrap copper wire

High Mr. Flagler, what type of hackle is that? Hen saddle or rooster saddle, or rooster cape? I'm trying to figure out the difference. Thanks!

Amazing

very nice fly

Good tie! You should do a video on darth baetis!

Hey guys, great video! Any links available for your tying materials/feathers/etc?

I really enjoy your videos. I’m very new to fly fishing and really enjoying attempts to tie flies. I’ve just been using regular fishing hooks and this kit of materials from the 80’s probably that was my dads... I’d really appreciate any advice on hook/material brands as searching google/amazon is overwhelming... thanks for all the tutorials though! Really appreciate it!

love you carm voice... ever did any adds?

Great Video! Loved it! What size gold bead did you use? What brand as well? Thank You again for a great video

I get a sense of deja vu watching this.... on a different note, you think that some day you may make a video on the matuka streamer?

I use dubbing for the body and wire rib I really like the haire ice dub

Would it be a bad idea to make the body and tail a different color?

Surprised to see a hook with a barb...thanks for the video.

I'm at a loss as to why you pull the ends off of the marabou. It seems to me that it eliminates the naturally tapered ends of the fibers, but maybe that's what you want. Inquiring minds want to know.

Is this not an old video?

Smallmouth killer

this a great variation on the bugger and I like your method of tying , but I feel I should point out that the chicken that the hackle comes from is a GRISLE , a Grizzly is a bear , sorry .

That's the Wooly Bugger that a friend of mine has won a few 1st's and 22nd:s in the local Trout Derby which has had up to 385 rod's in the water. I don't want to be a copier and came up with my own version of a wet fly. I knew I could win the derby as I outfish him most days unless he uses my Fly. Sure enough I won the Derby and had an incredible 6 trip run with an eight a nine abd a ten pound Rainbow catch and release. Yes there is a better fly byt U I want $10,000 for my pattern. I applied 50 year's of ny own experience from Sunfish to Tyee Salmon. Having been a commercial salmon fisher certainly didn't hurt. I know good luck getting $10,000 for a fly well a dozen but includes boar motor custom gooj and catch rod holder's plus instruction. Or good luck catching a double digit trout. Just saying.
