coryg Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Calling all Bassbuggers for an evening of Wooly Bugger Madness! When: Monday, February 22, 2010, 6pm - 8pm (start tieing @ 6:30 pm) Where: One More Cast, Countryside, IL NEW and Old (read "experienced") Buggers are invited! We will demonstrate a conventional Wooly Bugger pattern, a must have pattern in any flybox, and then.... Open the vise for creative alternatives to Harry Blessing's (may he rest in peace) wonderful creation. Experienced fly tiers, please, share your own versions and alternatives of this fish catching wonder. As an added bonus, those bassbuggers bringing donations of flies for the Bronzeback Blowout will receive a raffle ticket for each 6 flies donated. These raffle tickets will be drawn at the Flies of the ISA event on April 10th and one of the prizes will be the new hardback book, "Wooly Wisdom." You can preview this book at our "Wooly Bugger Madness Night". Hope to see lots of new faces from our new ISA members. In the meantime, stay warm and keep on tieing. Coryg, Fly Tieing Co-ordinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Loebach Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I think its Russel Blessing from Pennsylvania. Good plan to work on a pattern as essential to fly fishing as the jig or spinner is to spin. Timely too with new members from the shows. Way to go, Cory!

coryg Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Oops, my bad!! My apologies to Harry Blessing. I did mean to refer to Russell Blessing of Pennsylvania who designed the Wooly Bugger pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
