More buggers

[hhawkins]

Well another oreder has come again. As soon as I finish this olive bugger I'm on now, I'll be tying purple and brown buggers on a #12 hook. Good thing I like tying, I would have been buggered out by now.

Way to go Heather. I have 5 dozen assorted jigs to get out this weekend. Two dozen Flash Ducks the rest for fishing this next week out side a few for Rad. I will be thinking of you while I am doing the Flash Ducks and know that I don't have it so bad.

Are the #12s flies or jigs?

Is the color combo a proven local fave for what species?

 

[LedHed]

#12s - small for buggers but should be fun

The #12 hooks are for flies called Woolly Buggers. The color combo are for rainbow trout and brown trout that are in the White River around Mt. Home, Cotter and Bull Shoals, Arkansas. All these places about an hour from where I live. Trout love that purple and brown during the colder months and spring and then love that olive and black during the summer and fall. Nutty Fish!

Ledhead, Doc and Toadfrog - actually tying that size 12 isn't that bad. It is when I get into a 20 hook to tye scuds is where I meet my match...YIKES! Thankfully I have small fingers and finger nails that aid me when I have them ( I chew on my fingernails or break them off )
