Tie a Tangle Free Wolly Bugger!

A Wolly Bugger is probably something everybody needs in their box, this versatile patten catches fish all over the world. I have tweaked this pattern, so it works great for what I use it for and that is Sea trout in the Stockholm archipelago. I have changed the normal hackle for marabou in a dubbing loop, this makes this fly move like crazy in low speeds and the soft marabou fibers still move when the fly is standing still. Tie a bunch up in your favorite color and give this version a go I promise you; you will not get disappointed.
