Olive Woolly Bugger

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

Hands down ... best instructional fly tying vids on KZbin.... Clear ... concise . Beautiful close up videos and well thought out narration ... great voice/voiceover. Thanks .. much appreciate your effort

[@rickfascinato9684]

this guy might be the best instructor on you tube

[@rayfoster8198]

agreed!

[@thethrill0296]

Rick Fascinato Whenever I don't understand a knot or a fly, I look up this guy and he knows exactly what I need to do.

[@Labeilofest]

Davie Mcphail is the only tier on KZbin. This guy needs to learn how to secure a hackle properly.

[@awesomeabsol]

This is probably the best fly tying video for a wooly bugger out there. Not only is it informational, it creates a wonderful looking fly

[@PeasantPB]

just tied a olive bugger watching this video and it's one of the best ways to tie them and no novice to fly tying love all your tying videos keep up the good work

[@TheBoolio]

The best instructor on KZbin. The best wooley bugger video too.

[@redshaftedflicker]

Excellent instruction-especially the technique for breaking the tips off of the marabou as well as leaving some bare stem for wrapping the hackle!!

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

You are truly a natural born teacher thanks

[@shotgunfly]

Always thorough with the information, which beats the crap out of other videos that don't tell you why they do anything. And always top notch video quality and editing. THIS is how you make a fly tying video!

[@eduardo-flyfishing4113]

This is the best fly tying tutorial I´ve seen on youtube!

[@jaybarnett4599]

New to this and stumbled onto this. My kid and i just made 2 of our own. 1st trout caught on them will be a memory forever!

[@rkcfish204]

Awesome instruction. This is my template and it’s worked great. Caught many trout based on your tutorial. Thank you!!

[@michaelogden5958]

probably the best bugger tie I've ever seen.

[@floridasaltlife]

I found this at 9 years since posted and it proves to be timeless instruction !!!

[@stevehargis4701]

Thank you for your work. Nicely done, good lighting, good focus, good narration, and effective teaching. Great work.

[@StormLaker]

I am getting back to tying now after a several year hiatus. I used to do all kinds of stuff with wooly buggers. I used to get the silicone skirt material used for bass jigs to match the chenile/hackle/etc and add "legs" to them. There's really no wrong way to tie one of these, they are one of the most adaptable streamers out there. I had a lot of days when all they took were #10 sized wooly buggers. It's awesome to have a big brown come out from a hide that you didn't think held a fish, just to take a swipe at it. The bugger packs are a great idea, especially if you are on a budget and want plenty of hackle to last you years of tying (if you tie at my pace, lol).

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I don't know why but you voice with the motion of you puting meterials on the hook is very soothing. And fun to watch. I could watch your videos all day. Good knowledgeable tips too. Good stuff

[@dahutful]

Nice - thanks. I prefer to do things a little differently. I tie in a sparse tail, probably 1/2-2/3 of yours. But I like the tearing of the tips tricks. I also like tying in a wire with the chenille, which traps the hackle when it arrives at the rear and provides the counter wraps. Monofilament is also useful for this.

[@gruntlebunny]

Very well produced and great detail. Well done video.

[@ProMasChino]

Very nice! I just started tying my first flies and this video is impeccable.

[@mohunter68]

I also want to add that I live in Missouri and nearly all of our trout streams are stocked, but there are a couple that actually have a breeding population of wild trout. I've fished 3 of them regularly and the Woolly Bugger is one of my most effective patterns that works every time on every stream that I've used it. Lately it's been a size #10 in either an Olive or Black color scheme, sometimes other variations work as well, but I just switch colors until the fish tell me what they want. BTW - I fish mine without weight and instead I fish them on sinking line and a 3# leader, just strip, strip, strip till a fish hits and the strikes are sometimes vicious almost like a bass strike nearly yanking the rod out of my hands. Woolly Buggers are Awesome and I use them almost exclusively these days. Other fishermen around me start gawking and pointing at me when I'm the only one in the group that is hauling them out on a slow day, and that's an Amazing feeling!

[@rogermccleave1281]

I always use this pattern and expect to hook my first within an hour. Roger NcCleave. New Zealand

[@dallaswinters1350]

Where at have you fished? im in missouri also, just getting into trout fishing.

[@kgrantmckeown]

Great video just picked up tying and this is my first bugger recipe and by far the best I have seen. My next fly I tie and learn is going to be the bivisible you tie very easy to follow thanks for the great videos!

[@lorimce2625]

This is one of the best Wooly Bugger videos I've seen. Very well produced and the appropriate amount of detail. I would love to see more videos from you. I tied about a dozen flies today based off of your video. Thanks!

[@lonesomeacestringband]

Thanks so much for posting this. It's a great method and very well explained. The tip about striping one side of the feather a little more is golden.

[@karmenmua4547]

Your instructions remind me tons of my fav youtuber TheMiteyQuin, he also does fly tying and I’ve started by watching him. I love this! Super organized!

[@rudyackerman5747]

Thank you for the video. I'm taking a fly tying class offered by the Texas Flyfishers of Houston. This will be the first fly we tie.

[@tightlinevideo]

Yeah! That's what I like to hear. As the season progresses, try root beer colored buggers, the trout just eat 'em up. Guessing they look a lot like crayfish. Glad you liked the video.

[@zeph6439]

I find that if you retrieve them just off the bottom with a gliding motion, with pauses in-between, this pattern is effective where there are small crabs in the water.

[@hdlstns]

I really am thankful for this video. I am going to start tying my own flies following your instruction.

[@jackscottshow]

Thanks! Most informative and detailed tying tutorial to date

[@tightlinevideo]

Thanks! Glad you like them.

[@uplaywithfire]

I found that black and olive green are a killer combo and the trout hit it really hard.

[@StopSignPodcast]

Yep

[@edscully8531]

Thank you. You just helped me tie a better wolly bugger.

[@mohunter68]

I love this video and it has helped me gain Amazing Results at the local trout parks that I fish. I live in Missouri so we have a few but the main two that I fish are Bennett Springs and Montauk, this Olive wolly bugger works Everywhere I've fished it. I tie my own and have had fishermen from the other side of the river come all the way over just to ask me "Man, what are you using?" and I show them what I have tied on the end of my leader. They are All like "Wow! Where did you get that?" and I say......I make them myself. The conversation normally ends with "wish I could do that" or "Dang Man you are killing them" and it makes me feel good to know that I can create lures that I hand tie myself that will outfish most other fishermen that are buying their flies from the local bait shop. LOL

[@matthewbooker5640]

Nice to see Grant King's terrific vise in use.

[@striperjohn]

Good technique and as you said there are many ways; very nice variation and leaves room to personalize. Good tips and thanks for the contribution to those at the vise.

[@hunterdrake9588]

This is the first fly I ever tied and I learned from this

[@nicolelewis1828]

Great, easy to follow video.Tied two of these last night. The first one, I didn't capture the saddle hackle well at the head nor at the bend! Will be tying some more this week. Thanks.

[@JustATroll420]

this is the best video on making these I have found. thanks so much for making it. helped me so much as I have been struggling to make nice ones.

[@johngates453]

An excellent video presentation ! Well done !

[@SirPraiseSun]

super clean work and you make it look easy..

[@flightdoc97]

Great instructional video. Just learning to tie my on flys, can't wait to get out and use them.

[@antoniomondragon1409]

Love this use pattern every day not lying

[@VerrillvilleOutdoors]

Awesome instructional video.

[@mr.robinson1982]

I find that a beadless wooly booger tied in purple size 8-14 works awesome @ dawn & dusk for catch bass, crappie, blue gills & sunfish on lakes, ponds & small streams. Good fishing.

[@HuntingCreatures]

Thanks for this! Woolly Bugger olive color with great instructions. I'm ready to start on it.

[@drishy94303]

That is some nice hackle material.. I might just fess up and buy the Whiting.. It looks super nice!

[@419friedtoast]

thanks for info and great vid! as a novice angler i loo to alot of videos like these for my info.. keep up the good work!

[@MakzFishin]

I just started fly fishing (for bass) and just watching this makes me love the sport more. I can't wait until I get my own tying setup and produce my own wooly buggers. thanks for the instructional! :)

[@oscarbuynevich9484]

If i was told I could only use one fly for the rest of my life it would be the size 10 bh wooly bugger hands down. So many variations and I can not name one stream/lake/pond or a fish species that this fly will not work on. Great video.

[@thethrill0296]

Oscar Buynevich agreed. Just caught my first two fish on an olive flash wooly bugger

[@TheDmburnham]

Black #6 for me.

[@JuGGtimus1]

What a great video. Very informative and helpful. This will be my very first fly that I tie. Thank you for sharing and I will definitely subscribe!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

awesome video. really liked that technique where u wrapped the hook with the single feather which looked really cool

[@adlerbr12]

i also make tons of wooly buggers , but instead of adding wire wrap and chenille i use pipe cleaner and it does a great job..

[@greghinderliter]

pipe cleaner rusts real fast

[@bonnoughj]

you make this look easy.. I'm looking forward to trying this...

[@dmac3914]

These look great! I keep a few minor variations of this on hand as well for picky fish; A non-bead head version. And another, exact same but a 3-5 strands of ice marabou mixed into the tail.

[@andrewhess1416]

now i know to properly tie in chenille thank you so much

[@mikeboule1967]

you make it look so easy

[@ssnoc]

Excellent instructor - thanks!

[@tightlinevideo]

Currently there are 85 more of our videos on KZbin. Just click the box at the top of the page that says 85 videos and you will have access to them all. Glad you like the bugger, hope you like the rest.

[@walk0938]

Fantastic videos....all of them, very informative and enjoyable, thanks for sharing your art, I sincerly appreciate it. Fish On!

[@steverobertson8474]

Your videos are great Thanks

[@1stdanblkblt]

Awesome description! Very helpful! Thank you.

[@quantumaquatic1767]

Wow new to fly fishing, thought making flies would be tough but it doesn't seem so !just step by step process only thing I see though here is getting the tools lol

[@tightlinevideo]

Glad you - freakin - liked it!!!

[@Lee_Lee1776]

This is incredible.

[@brittposey5654]

this will change the way i tie flies forever

[@StopSignPodcast]

One suggestion try wrapping two or three times around just the base of the marabou and two wraps of hackle at the start

[@vernerisarjomaa9302]

I wish I would have this much fly stuff!

[@imovedaccounts8186]

Got to love buggers.

[@adamellison2220]

Awesome. thanks for sharing!

[@saulcervantesga]

Thanks good information salutations from GDL Mexico.

[@daveknapp4947]

Very helpful video! Sure beats trying to copy pictures from a book like I have been doing! :-)

[@Huntiannanglers]

Fantastic ,,, great work keep it up

[@Darkman-Fishing]

beautiful video..best Ive seen..thank you

[@jeffreyuzarski710]

Very nice instructor and my personal preference is to leave the ends of the feather alone and make it a tad longer for the looks of an above average sized leach for that hungry monster. The beauty and advantage of tying is to have that little difference for the trout to see besides that same ol same ol fly shop bugger

[@Homegrownherbs]

Great tip for bluegill tie these in sizes 18-22

[@Hitter5658]

Love this video. Some folks add some crystal flash, 2 strands. You do not here. Any comment? Thanks!

[@jonathanvandehey2111]

Great video any chance to get a list of the items used for beginners

[@mauiciobarrera4706]

Nice video!!

[@woodbox50]

Boom!!! that's what matters. thank you👊

[@woodbox50]

@ 1:45 on video !

[@suciudimitrie6665]

Very good !

[@paulhoughland8505]

Thank you for sharing

[@troutstalker9134]

One of my favorite flies. I had a 30+ rainbow trout day (all wild) on 1 olive wolly bugger that looked just like this. I'm curious if you don't think wrapping copper wire on the outside would help with keeping the fly in good shape?

[@buckohara]

Great instruction for an ultra classic fly. I must say I totally disagree with cutting the tail the way you did though. Maybe consider 'stacking' the tail fibers to ensure they flow well in the water. ( maybe stack two or three feathers to get the desired volume). If you cut some types of marabou, they end up too stiff.

[@rayfoster8198]

Palmering is another option.

[@nhoutdoorss]

awesome fly cant wait to start making these but i had a question i have shaneal like that but the green stuff on it falls off it why is that?

[@JM-bb8xi]

This is pretty much how I tie mine, my favorite color is black, if I were stranded near a new water way with only one fly, it would be a BLK wooly bugger

[@sunray3291]

Woow beautiful 👍

[@jonathanvandehey2111]

On the fester did her tear one side off or leave both sides on and wrap it couldn’t tell first time trying to make my own flies

[@tightlinevideo]

Sure.

[@kleraudio]

Thanks so much for doing all of these videos for us! What color is that bugger pack? I'd love to make these soon!

[@capitansuzy2292]

OOOOOOOOoooooohhhh... So thats how there made, i was doing it completely wrong :p

[@elizagozda5641]

grate video.

[@Sherayx]

Thanks for sharing, very informative, peace.

[@flytier5161]

Very nice

[@samuelking1775]

I find it better to tie in your hackle feather when you tie on your chenille. I think the final product looks cleaner that way.

[@anonym1anonym243]

Great instruction! I mainly use wb for rainbow trout in sweden. I have tried different rods, would you recomend a #5 or #6 weight?

[@zardosspinosa6944]

Fantastico!

[@juaneling]

great video thank for this . which is the name of the song ? thank you again

[@navydonald]

Like the guitar music.

[@oscarnegrony9767]

grandes truchas he pescado con la mundialmente conocida Wolly Bugger..

[@hardtomello364]

So what’s the difference with whip finishing your flies vs just tying them normally

[@bshwaze4399]

this was awesome
