Nice fly looks great

im just here to say that my buddy told me about eastern trophies, and im glad i discovered this, these fly's are awesome!

would you mind doing a tying tutorial on your Boga Bug? I would appreciate it greatly!

Looks like a real bug, you are a good tyer!

Great video, thanks!

Teaching my 11 year old nephew this fly today. Chuck’s video is the only way to do it for me. Respect the GOATs and our classics! ❤

Thanks. I'll be trying these out this spring in my pa waters

Great fly.

It looks like it could be a good fly for redfish!

Excellent video! RIP CK

Looks effective! I would add a wire rib to help protect the wound hackle!

Innovator

Thanks for sharing, Chuck. Do you ever tie it with peacock herl?

What color thread are you using? Does it matter?

Very similar to griffith's gnat, my opinion

Neat tie! Thank you sir...

Just tied a few up for next week on the Waioeka River down under in New Zealand. Always worth trying something new and great to watch the inventor tying and presenting on U Tube. Kind Regards.

I’ve never seen that before, thanks for posting. I like your accent too.

Question: where do y’all source the flat dumbbell eyes?

A question on the amount of Kreinik for the tail. The vidio suggests 15 to 20 strands. I have looked at pictures of the commercial flies for sale and they clearly have more than that. Just a guess but the pictures would suggest twice that amount. 20 strands looks very sparse. Any opinions or advice in this area would be appreciated. Thanks

Do a tying video for these if you would....

Do you only tie it in white? Have you experimented with other colors like chartreuse?

I tie mine where hackle comes out to hook point after I trim it. Very deadly for me and I’m using a spinning reel with no other weight. Casts well and trout will come up from out of site to nail it. So much fun.

Very helpful, thank you.

Bug re-hab, yea, lol. A good friend now deceased said "why do you mess with your lures?" I replied because its more to the fishe's liking. Anyway fished the Potomac for yrs. and do REALLY dig the selection but i am a mouse man (lol) 3 different sizes so the story goes once say 35 yrs. ago waded behind and island and tossed the rodent in, missed the water but hit the steep bank with said overhead foliage...that fish vaulted out of the water onto the bank around 20 inches up and MISSED it! I was kindof shocked but totally exhilerated NOT to see that fish again....another good one is if you have A POPPER WITH TEETH HOLES IN IT....lol

Amazing! 🐟(kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zq-bZNdzqNPVl30.html)

Way cool. I like the line wiggle technique once the cast is made. I bet that really does drive 'em crazy and trigger aggressive takes. Nice vid. Love the "bird's eye view!

Great video. Many thanks for posting.

Such a cool bug!

Excellent and informative video for smallie topwater and subsurface techniques. Thank you, William Heresniak!

After watching this a few times it occurred to me that the sounds of the boat and the oars make picked up by your Go Pro are probably not that far off from what fish can hear or at least sense. That also leads me to believe that sound isn't as bad as we are lead to believe when it comes to fish.

Thank you for posting this...I'm going to throw a few of his bugs tomorrow, and see if I can't dig up my first Smallmouth of 2021.

How did I not know about this fly? Well...guess I'll be ordering some tails :)

What a fantastic pattern. I am a huge fan of Chuck’s work.

Just great! Thanks for posting.

Thanks!

I find it easier to glue the legs to the leather tail - then attach it to the hook/body.

My tenth time watching this, patiently waiting on warmer weather, and topwater eats from snakeheads and smallies!

William, prompted by the background of this video, you should to one to organizing one's tying supplies.

we want to see the fish eat the bug and the action, not the end of a fight

Top water kreelex?

I articulate mine

If you are still running any Potomac trips in early November would be interested in booking trip with you: [email protected]

Great information!!

I just tied a bunch of these with the same materials I got from you at last year’s NJ show. Can’t wait to try em out on the smallies.

What material is the tail made from?

Question. When you glue down the side tabs... that section is now rigid. Is it supposed to be that way. The end of the tail still moves ok. Just curious as this is the first one I’ve tried to tie. I’m at the part now where I have to trim it down to a square.

Great man

I live near Chuck and have had the pleasure of speaking to him a number of times and to say that he is a fount of knowledge when it comes to fishing is truly an understatement. He has probably forgotten more about fishing than I will ever know.
