Hackless bugger err a leech...
This is the fly I have been using to catch alot of trout lately. It works very well and is practically bulletproof. I had issues with the trout chomping off my hackle and these fish don't like buggers without hackle. So this is my solution, Basically a leech but I prefer to call it a hackle-less woolly bugger A.k.a HWB.
RECIPE:
Hook: Mustad #8
Thread: black uni 6/0
Tail: black marabou(flash optional)
Body: Fiery brown angora Goat dubbing. (used with a dubbing loop for durability and buggyness.)
Anyways I went out yesterday and had another fantastic day! I caught around 30+ fish!
I actually caught some fish on a #6 salmonfly dry fly! how amazing,, these fish never take dries of any size.
Most fish though, were taken on streamers on floating and sinking lines. I caught a few really nice fish of about 21-22" that were around 4 pounds.
I also LOST! a BIG rainbow which was probably pushing 7 pounds! Damnit! oh well maybe next time.
Tight lines!
