What fly would you fish? Also, the Crystal bugger is now up on the website for those who dont tie or just want to support my work: www.mainely-outdoors.com/product-page/crystal-wooly-bugger
Going out tommorow to a stream i thought had a huge kill off but appearntly is fishing well now that temps dropped down. Plan on used a shop-vac, jack daniels, and a frenchie. Ill be taking by euro rod, dry rod and streamer rod, but the dry and streamer rods are only if i get really bored. Either way, should be a good day.

Officially calling this version the Omilu Reaper Looks similar to a Jumping Jack: A small all-black tide pool fish found here in Hawaii. About the size of your pinky finger. It's very quick when startled, and likes to jump from one tide pool to another to escape predators. Omilu: is our name for 5-20 pound sized trevally's here in Hawaii. Ours is a beautiful blue and green color along with the usual strong white and silver on its main body. Some variants include black, yellow, all silver, etc. The never really get up to 40+ pounds unless it's the White Trevally or the Black Trevally
I use both but prefer to tye them in purple w/ & w/o a beadhead. W/o a beadhead, they swim in the 1-3 foot range off a floating line & w/ a beadhead, they swim 5-9 feet deep.
Classical style, You can always add weight like the second one or use some wire wraps if needed. The only time I skip adding weight is when I have a sink tip on the fly line or when I’m using my spey rod. It’s always good to have a variety of choices for the various conditions and techniques.
I’ve always thought the long hackle on the “traditional” wooly worm / wooly bugger was weird. More than a decade ago I began just using crystal chenille for the body with either just a couple of wraps behind the head or no hackle at all. Still catches! #flies

I would fish both. The white one on a bright day in clear water. The black one on an overcast day or in stained water.

Suck the water out of the stream with the shop vac, drink the Jack Daniel’s and then get it on with your Frenchie! Oo la la! That’s fishing.
@@tomt5176 caught 4 friend caught 7, but funny enough, i didnt fish the shop-vac or JD. Still had a great day though.
Behold, the Bob Ross of fly tying.
This looks like an awesome fly to tie before work! I appreciate you sharing this video! Tight lines! 😎🎣
You always make that look so easy. Thanks I really enjoy your videos.

Just teasers. No water out west. Still love the ties!
Nice job. I do a lot of junk flies. They work pretty good.

That’s a good looking wollybugger
Do you plan on partridge hunting on your other channel soon?

No weight? Why not?
