learning fly-tier. It’s big, so you can see what you’re doing, and it involves only a few inexpensive materials. Most important, it’s a proven producer for trout, bass, and almost anything in between. The savvy angler always has at least a few Buggers in the ol’ fly box.

STEP 1 Wrap a piece of black 6/ thread along the length of a size  elongated hook. Always wrap the thread away from yourself, over the top of the hook.

STEP 2 Secure one large black marabou feather at the front of the hook and wrap all the way back to the bend. Leave enough exposed to create a tail.

STEP 3 Connect a -inch ( cm) piece of fine copper wire by the tail and also a strand of black chenille. Wrap the thread forward, then the chenille, but leave the wire behind. Next, tie off the chenille with a half hitch.

STEP 4 Now tie on a saddle hackle feather (black or grizzly), palmer it back (i.e., wrap with spacing), and secure this with a couple wraps of the wire. Trim the leover hackle. Wrap the wire forward and tie it off with the thread. Trim the excess wire.

STEP 5 Finish the fly with a tapered thread head. Use a whip-finish knot, apply a dab of head cement, and you’re done.
