Articulated Brahma, Better than a Wooly Bugger! - McFly Angler Streamer Fly Tying Tutorials

- A few months ago I tied up a fly called the Brahma Bugger, which I did not invent but loved fishing and tying the fly very much! The fly was originally tied by the tightlines youtube channel, and I re-named the fly "soft hackle bugger" because I did not use a brahma pelt, but instead used a soft hackle pelt from whiting. That video did really well, and that fly has been an amazing fish catcher for me. So I set out to improve on the fly, and make it better for a wider range of fish species.
I wanted to articulate the fly, and give it even more movement in the water. So I present you with the articulated brahma bugger, which catches more fish than I could imagine. In fact, it far out fished any other fly I had with me on my last trip. I could not keep the fish off of it. And it seemed to attract some really large trout as well! This articulated fly is really my favorite streamer now, and I don't think I will be fishing anywhere without at least a few in my box.

Love that pelt, just beautiful !! And the color, nice.
I absolutely love the look of this fly! This will have to be my next attempt
A couple beautiful Bows on that streamer. Good work on the tie and afterwards as well!
Very cool fly. Nicely done sir. Thank you.
You make some great instructional videos buddy I don’t often have all the same materials but I use a lot of the techniques in my Flies.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your directions clearly and to the point. And I love the enthusiastic. Tone respectfully yours JOHN in new haven ct
great vids and flys
Great fly! I've tied quite a few of the regular Brahma buggers. I think it's time to go articulated. I might be up on the San Juan the first week of December. I'll let you know once my schedule firms up in case you'll be out there and we could meet up.
Very nice video Shawn. I think that fly would even work here in Florida for bass.
Great hair clip hack! I have a few in different sizes.
Nice fly
I'm going to have to whip one up for the Ohio River Small Mouth. Nice tie.
Enjoy your videos,the tying and the fishing. Really like this fly, been tying something similar for years....Try this: leave enough room to spin a deer hair head,with a deer hair collar. Trim head to somewhat of a cone shape,add eyes if you want. When stripping,the deer hair head brings the fly to an abrupt stop,it "slams the brakes" on. This allows the articulated tail to have more movement " left to right". The brakes slam on and the tail keeps moving left or right.Anyway,try it,think you'll like it.
I typically use 20# nylon leader in lieu of wire. And I don't double the connection back over itself. I do cement it down well. I test it with a strong manual pull and I've only had one connection pull apart where I forgot to cement.
Great video, love the action in the water. I would like to see one in a darker color.
Nice.
I'll probably fish this pattern in lieu of wooly buggers, especially in black, olive and tan. I really like the shimmering effect that make it look more alive. Can't argue with success, I caught my PB rainbow on this fly last Sunday!
Wow!!nice action!!thinking about a very slim reddish brown version to immitate small lugworm for early sea trout on my local estuary 😋 What is the black wire you are using to mount the mobile tail section?
I’m headed home to Northern Colorado in the morning. Getting in 9 days of social distancing on the Cache La Poudre and Big Thompson.
Looks like it would do good on a dead drift swing.
