Modify Existing Patterns


Instead of tying a traditional black Woolly Bugger, I modified this pattern by using a white body.  I was experimenting with this one to see if it would catch more fish than a black Woolly Bugger.  I am planning on tying more Woolly Buggers using a variety of colors and color combinations to see which colors and combinations work the best in my area.


This is a variation of a Mickey Finn that my brother tied and showed me.  This streamer is tied on a bigger hook and has a white underbelly.  A traditional Mickey Finn doesn't have an underbelly at all.  This fly also uses green buck tail, instead of yellow.  The buck tail fibers on the back are longer and the head is bigger than a traditional Mickey Finn.  This is to mimic a bigger bait fish.  My brother mostly uses this fly for trolling.
