DB Bugger

 

Hook:  Diachii 2220 sz 2-8

Tail:  Marabou

Body:  Puglisi Tarantula hairy legs brush 1" width

**wire dubbing brush will dull good scissors so an old or inexpensive pair should be on hand**

 

DB Bugger is a simple wooly bugger variation tied with a pre-made dubbing brush (DB).  The use of the dubbing brush increases speed immensely allowing for more flies and different styles, colors, etc. to be tied per sitting.  This pattern will have your bugger box full and looking good.  Most importantly with the colors of dubbing brushes available you will be ready for all water conditions.

 

 After tying a few this should take less than a minute per fly.

 Cone on hook, hook in vise.  Add Marabou tail and wrap excess marabou along hook shank to cone.  Edge of tail should be aligned with barb on hook.

 Tie in dubbing brush and wrap thread forward to cone. 

 Tie off dubbing brush, whip finish and done.  Its that easy.

  A few hours of tying will have you a supply of buggers any guide would be envious of.

Low Rider is for lower flows which i feel we may have to contend with this Fall.  Smaller size of this fly lends itself well to more natural colors for mid day fishing and blacks and purples during low light.
