Slide a bead onto the
hook, secure it in the vise and add some lead wire for
weight |
Step 2
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 2](flies/steps/babybugger/step_02.jpg)
Push the lead wire into
the back of the bead and secure it with the thread. |
Step 3
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 3](flies/steps/babybugger/step_03.jpg)
Tie in a tuft of hair
from a rabbit zonkerstrip. Cut the waste right behind the
lead wire wraps to get a smooth transition without bumps. |
Step 4
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 4](flies/steps/babybugger/step_04.jpg)
Tie in a
black hen hackle in the tip end. |
Step 5
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 5](flies/steps/babybugger/step_05.jpg)
Dub the thread with a
black dubbing of choice. Here it's Hareline Hare's Fur
dubbing. |
Step 6
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 6](flies/steps/babybugger/step_06.jpg)
Wrap the dubbed thread
all the way up to the bead. |
Step 7
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 7](flies/steps/babybugger/step_07.jpg)
Start the hackle with a
full wrap and then palmer it forward. Finish with
another full wrap before it's tied off just behind the bead. |
Step 8
![Baby Woolly Bugger - Step 8](flies/steps/babybugger/step_08.jpg)
Whip-finish
behind the bead. |
Done...
