 Wooly Buggers, Vanilla Buggers And Hellgrammites: Why Do You Tie?
Posted by jason-c on Wednesday, March 22 @ 15:42:00 PST
When tying flies I often notice I make them more complicated than they need to be. That is not always necessary, but at times it is a nice way to kill off winter. However, you can keep them simple. The key is to capture the essence of the insect. You do not need to capture all of their "@#$es and elbows". A perfect example of this was the Hellgrammites pattern I recently developed, it is a killer looking pattern that I cannot wait to fish. Incidentally, I hope to have some “how to tie it video” up shortly. The point is that a much simpler pattern may work just as well. I am sure that wooly buggers, vanilla buggers and leach patterns are often taken for Hellgrammites. If you are tying just to catch fish you can simplify your patterns, crank them out and get fishing.

Re: Why Do You Tie?: Wooly Buggers, Vanilla Buggers And Hellgrammites
by KodiakCommando on Wednesday, March 22 @ 18:20:33 PST http://www.fishalaskamagazine.com | | I agree Completely. I have always beleived there are two types of flies, ones that catch fish and ones that catch fisherman. I have also found that those so called Realistic flies get outfished by simpler flies or "buggy" flies |
