Articulated Wooly Bugger - Underwater Footage! - Streamer Fly - McFly Angler Fly Tying

- čas přidán 3. 08. 2017
- Wooly Buggers are one of the most popular and effective streamer flies ever created. Very versatile, and relatively easy to tie. I created this articulated version to be able to fish larger fish. A good baitfish imitation.
They work for just about every fish species. From bass, to trout, to even saltwater fish species. All have been caught on a wooly bugger.

Just tied a few of these up last night, and can't wait to try them out! Love your videos McFly Angler. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you. Let me know how they do for you. If you can find me on Facebook, please send me a picture of them, id love to see your take on this. :)
Digging the jazzy music in the background. Nice touch!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Just great! Will definitely try to do and catch. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much! Tell me how it does for you.
Very nicely done and well presented, Will tie up a few in various colours for my next fish on the Tongariro River down under NZ.
Thanks! Btw, if your gonna fish some larger fish, double up that mono when tying in. It will help keep it from slipping.
I tie a similar version in 3 different sizes with and without the conehead. The weightless version other than a few lead wire wraps is my favorite for most of the waters that I fish. Great tie, a must have for any fish under any situation, so effective that if I don't have any in the box my chances of getting a skunk are much higher, lol.
+redshaftedflicker it’s a good one for sure! Been using this for a long time. I think slump busters though are my biggest producer, but these are awesome as well! :)
Nicely done on this one; keep it going! Tim
Thanks Tim! :)
+Tim Cammisa thank you
That's pretty much the exact fly I'm looking for to fish a particular Northern California watershed this Fall. Poifect! Like the "Peanuts" piano background music too!
+Big Papi lol thanks!
Great video! That bugger looked sick.
Thanks!
+Hayden Funk thank you
Awesome fly! I wish I had this on the Colorado, where I just was. A bunch of 25+ inch trout would pound my sparkle minnow, but only the tail. I think it looks great in green, which what I tied it in. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creation with us!
+FlyinThruColorado thanks! Glad you like it!
I’m going to try this one for sure brother, thanks!
Yeah man, let me know how it does for you!
Hi from Ecuador, I'm new on fly fishing and fly tying, great videos ,
Thank you Esteban! Welcome to the world of fishing! Its fun, addicting, and you will probably spend more than you want to, but its well worth it! Glad you liked the videos.
I think the wooly bugger is the best fly out there. Great video!
Thanks! I wouldnt say its the "best" fly, but probably the most versatile for sure! Conditions change 24/7 so sometimes a fly might work better than a bugger, but I will say there aren't many situations that a bugger wouldnt work.
McFly Angler that is very true
great video, thanks again.
Thank you
Great pattern! Just jn time for fall fishing.
Thanks!
great tie I love the videos
Thank you
wow that is really something. Just working on my first bugger
Thank you. Give it a try, you will do great.
great fly
Thank you! :)
I liked your technique, originality, and smooth movement of the fly. It is a pity only that on a Wooly Bugger I have caught nothing. But I hope that I will succeed.
+Гоша Голубев nothing on a bugger? So weird. It's like one of the most versatile streamers out there. Well let me know if you ever do.
I'm surprised you never got into the fly business, you are amazing at it
+Braydon Merrill thank you. The fly business doesn't make much money. Haha. It's like working for $2-4/hour which is less than minimum wage...
McFly Angler I forgot about that, do you make most of your flies or do you buy them
+Braydon Merrill I make as many as I can, but sometimes I'll go to the river and find out a different fly is working. If I don't have that fly I will buy it. But usually I'm stocked up pretty good...
Ur vids are 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks
This is why I like your tying videos s I've kina kicked around a similar idea before, just never tied any up. What's the purpose of the beads exactly? Is it just to help keep the rear hook right? I wonder if their is a small enough tubing or something to keep the weight down at that point so the fly would not be so back heavy and tracking flatter or more head down?
The beads help stiffen the mono, so it doesn't foul up. Extends the hook back a bit, and keeps it more stiff. Just a spacer really. You could use any bead, plastic craft beads that kids use to make bracelets work as well.
That looks really good... i going to try that. you earned a sub from me.
+Joseph Milazzo thanks! Tell me how it works for u
i finally got to use it and got two bass and a bluegill. Thanks!
you might be able to get a better tie in with the mono loop if you burn the ends, it will make a ball bump that wont slide through the thread wraps,
Good trick, thanks
Nice never seen an articulated one made before. I'm looking to start fly tying myself when I can get the gear. Can you do a video of techniques such as the whip finish. Or even a simple dry fly or hopper fly for a beginner to try?
Glad you liked it.
As for the whip finish, yeah! I will try to do that soon. Good suggestion. I have a few playlists already with techniques. Such as attaching dumbbell eyes, or choosing the right hackle etc... I also have a playlist for "simple" flies. None of which are dry flies though. I as you might have noticed don't do a lot of dries. I mostly am into streamers for tying. Something I brought with me from fishing saltwater for many years. If you are interested in some simple streamers, check that playlist out as well. I don't know of many "simple" hoppers, but I did a midge dry once, that was pretty simple. However being a midge, you are tying on a very small hook, so that kinda stops the "simplicity" of it. HAHA Anything becomes difficult on a size 28 hook.
McFly Angler thanks for the info. I'll check out the playlists. Cheers.
McFly Angler also I need to start fishing more with streamers. I'm in Tasmania which is great for trout!. I'll give it ago. Any suggestion for a good all round streamer pattern. Cheers.
+Jack Dillon well I haven't fished Tasmania, but here a wooly bugger and slump buster are two streamers I always carry on me... easy to tie, and effective
Now if you tied this in a burnt orange/rusty brown coloration would make an awesome crayfish imitation.
+Joshua Pilon true it could. Try it, tell me how it does.
McFly Angler if I get some time away from work, and it ever stops raining here in NY I will definately give it a try.
+Joshua Pilon it's been raining here a lot also. Rain is good though for us, we need it! Lol. But it sure makes for difficulty getting out and enjoying nature huh? Haha
Niceeee
thanks!
Which cone head did you use ? Your description in the video says 5mm, but the parts list says 4mm
Sorry... Probably the voice over is more accurate. I write up the parts list after I edit the video, during the time of upload, which sometimes is a day or two after tying the fly/editing the video. I probably used 5mm. But use whatever size will fit over the hook you are using. I usually like going smaller than larger, so the smallest that will fit.
McFly Angler thank you sir
+weedsnager no problem
How heavy is the tip?
Huh?
How many takes on the line "hook shank length"?
LOL Lots... Its a tong twister. HAHA
tongue
hi I entered your discount code and it wouldn't take it do you have a noter code?
No I don’t work with that company anymore. Sorry.., I work with Risen fly now, www.risenfly.com. Rods, reels, and some great prices on good hooks (I use them for personal use and love them!). Anyway, new discount code is “McFly” at risen. My more recent videos show me using their gear and materials.
Recommend using 70 pound braid if your tying articulated streamers for salmon or saltwater fish
ok. lol. But they aren't for salmon or saltwater specifically. Not this fly. I use 10lb tippet fishing this, the heavy mono will not break before the tippet. Thanks though! :)
@@McFlyAngler oh of course if your fishing smaller fish like trout bass etc use what’s shown here I just did this this year using 15 pound fluoro and pulled half my fly back lol I just meant any bigger flies like ones meant for saltwater :) thanks for the videos though you’ve taught me tons of stuff and I love your videos considering you do a lot of flies tightline videos doesn’t have
Oh absolutely. Yeah I use either heavy braid or heavy intruder wire for many of my saltwater articulated flies.
Thanks by the way, glad you like the channel.
@@McFlyAngler thankyou your one of the only youtubers who actual replies and shows you care and actual do enjoy helping people
McFly Angler, I may have a solution for your problem with the amount of hours you spend on your channel. I stead of making several videos a week, just make one. At the end of each week you could make a video that has multiple segments such as a channel update, fly of the week, etc. This might give you more time to work, rest and help with the baby girl but still get your viewers the content that they desire. Great video
+Dylan Smothermon thank you... and most of the videos are quick, it's the fishing videos that take forever... lots of hours of filming to look through... I might lessen the fishing vids to only once or twice a month... fly tying vids take just a coupe of hours... and the update vids are even less.. also, CZcams cuts down view exposure for channels with less videos..
Hum what you call paalmering isn't what I call palmering
Alrighty
u did the hackle backwards my man..ur supposed to tie in the hackle tip first then your wire then your chenille. then u wrap your chenille forward then your hackle forward to the eye and secure then u counter wrap your wire forward to the cone.. then whip finish... it makes way more sense and its is WAY more secure/ durable.. hate to say it but wire alone isn't gunna keep teeth from ripping it free of four wire wraps!
+Ben Diamond there are 100 ways of doing it, this is how I do it, and I've never had issues. I know of people who don't even use wire. Sorry but I didn't do it "wrong" just different than you that's all. Hate to tell ya.... lol.
first
sigh...
I am not sure what you mean by this comment. Would love to reply, but I'm confused. Sorry! :)
First as in first to comment. Sigh as what am i doing with my life :). Great video, keep up the good work!
Oh ok. Why are you sighing about your life? Thank you for the kind comment on the video. Anything I can do to help with your life?
It was meant as a joke of circumstance.
I figured. ;) thanks again for the comment, its nice to hear people like my flies. :)
