Sili Bugger

Recommended Posts

I started out wanted to tie Allen Sherman’s Fuzzy Grub that I witnessed the Menominee’s smallies couldn’t resist while fishing with him this year on the ISA Road trip, but I didn’t not have any EP Tarantura brush on hand.  So I substituted the EP Tarantura brush with chenille and hackle.  The finished fly was basically a Wooly Bugger with silicon rubber tail instead of the traditional marabou tail.  Next, I thought maybe adding eyes would make the fly looks much more buggier.  So it turned into this fly: The Sili Bugger.

Not sure if the fly already exists in another name, because it's basically a Wooly Bugger with silicon rubber leg tail and eyes.

yery nice  what size is the hook

Rich, I experimented with both size 2 & 4.  In the top picture, 2 of those flies were size 2 and the other 2 were size 4.  The hooks were Mustad Ultrapoint 32833NP-BN 2 Extra Strong.  They are 90deg jig hooks.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.  Can't wait to try it out.
