Central IL Bassbugger Fly Tying Event - February 26th
rich mc replied to Rob G's topic in BassBuggers
maybe tie one with craft hair for tail and first bunch then finish2nd and 3rd bunch with bucktail. rich mc -
rob we are all trying to improve our tying and this style just adds to it. after reading some more about it one tyer said to decrease the lengthof the section by 1/3 as you work towardthe head on longer flies with more sections 1/4. some add eyes with flectite[arrow glue] i will try an eye of t shirt paint. as with any fly it can be weighted or even added to a float n fly head

dont miss the scoop on tying the MOP fly. easy fly that does very well. we should tie 3 variations a bead head , a wacky style and a nymph that sinks backward i have plenty of material rich mc -

ive met her a few times.she gave a great talk at NIU about 10 yrs ago. i believe she was also involved with FREP[fox river eco partnership]

yes, a 6 or 7wt is a good choice. i do suggest casting rods before you buy as your casting style will differ from others. i also like more backbone with sink tip or sinking lines . my fav rod is a 7wt LL bean . rich mc
