The D5 Wooly Bugger by Matt Erny Materials You Will Need Hook: Daiichi 2220 Size 6. Thread: Ultra Thread 140. Tail: One Marabou Blood Quill. Body: FTD (Fly Tiers Dungeon) Hair Web Black Dubbing. Hackle: One Saddle Hackle. Flash: H2O Flash and Hologram H2O Flash from FTD. Step 1: Tie thread to hook, covering middle portion. Step 2: Take a marabou blood quill and pinch it at about the same length as the hook shank. Step 3: Tie in the feather to about ¾ the way to the eye. This helps to build bulk and shape the body. Step 4: Now you may select your lead if you choose to use it. You may use any size lead to achieve any sink rate or depth you choose. I wrap it in backwards compared to how I normally tie, so my first wraps of thread lie on top of the lead, not in-between the wraps. Tie the lead off and add a drop of head cement if you choose. Step 5: Now you can tie in some tail flash. I used one strand of black and one strand of red H20 Flash from FTD, folded in half and cut the loop. Then I tie it at the middle and fold it back. Lastly I secure it with a few wraps so it will not pull out. Step 6: Select a saddle feather. I strip off the fluff and clean the side I like the least of all of its barbs. Tie it in by the tip. This helps make a nice tapered shape and also makes palmering a lot easier. Step 7: Dub the body. I am careful to not over-dub, but yet build a nicely shaped body. Step 8: Wrap the body. I pull the hackle barbs back toward the tail to get a nice palmered angle. The more wraps you make the thicker the body looks. I normally use more wraps for muddier/stained water, and less for clearer water. Step 9: Wrap the neck. Here I made 10 wraps. Again, more wraps move more water. In stained water I'll make 10; in clear, I'll make 5. After I make the wraps I'll pull the barbs back and tie in a smooth head to hold their angle toward the tail. Step 10: Lastly, tie in the last of the flash that flows from the head to the end of the tail. Here I used one strand of black and one strand of red holographic H2O Flash from FTD. I have it folded in the middle, one strand on each side, trimmed to the length of the tail.   http://www.day5flies.com/   Hatches Magazine Subscription Price: $6.95 for each issue The Premiere issue is ready for shipping & the Fall 2008 issue will be available September 1st.
