Brilliant tutorial, Dave. The shuggie has caught trout everywhere for me - from Vermont and Iceland to the White Cart in Glasgow. Tight lines 🙏🏼🐟
Nice one the white cart as well, i need to fish them on the rivers more often
Cracking videos Dave me and my mates are really enjoying them.Cant thank you enough for your honesty.Invested in some of your produce what cracking quality mate.
Good to hear, thats why I do it for comments like that I will always be honest to fisherman and all
Nice pattern there David. Thank you for another one dude.
No problem 👍
the old patterns never fail
They Do Not
Excellent tying Davie thanks. I'll tie some in lieu of the older pattern that I still catch on. Cheers Big Davie
Thanks its a fish catcher everywhere
Good looking fly there... Thanks
Proportions is the main thing and action and thanks
Thanks Dave, I am going to make some for fishing tomorrow, I will let you know how I get on. Great videos mate. Our fly tying club always view you channel, keep up the great work. Ray
I caught on it, cheers
Brilliant glad you like it, I can also do live demos if you club is ever interested :) tight lines
Hi Davie, my name is Angus Macarthur, known as gus from Clydebank. My best friend is Stewart Inglis who advised me to check you out. I’m mostly a salmon angler and now going to make it my project to get a tyne salmon on this pattern. I’ve fished the humongous lots for rainbows but never really looked at the name..... human. Gus. Whilst listening to your wonderful stories during completion anglers you definitely meet humans who are not human lol. On another note I love music and would ask you to search and study a perticular song called some humans ain’t human by John Prince. He is an American country folk singer who unfortunately passed away this year due to Covid. Most people have never heard of him but he was the best wordsmith and songwriter I’ve ever heard. Love your flies and content and I can only thank Stewart for detailing you to me. Enjoy the song and welcome John Prince , your music library has now been made perfect.
Human.. Gus lol
Thanks for the lovely comments and I hope you get more than one salmon on the pattern :) and I will have a listen to the song, Listened to lots of Tom Paxton :)
Last weekend I used this pattern tied in gold in a bass pond with crappie. I caught 5 crappie and 5 large mouth bass. I had the highest catch rate around and this really turned some heads from the standard woolly bugger. I tied the version Lance Egan showed, which originated from you I think. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant I always wanted to fish one of them bass pro comps with the Shuggies :) and it worked well for me also when I wa sin Canada fishing and there was Bass present in the lake
Keep me posted Zac on the catches :)
Fantastic live your videos
Met you at a comp at a dam called the Muirhead years ago you gave me 2 shugys I had a butcher boy on there the following day a got 36 big browns and l000s since it was the first time I'd seen the fly since I'd seen 3 browns for 9. 7oz sitting on the scales at leven so thanks for the video and the flies PS I found the other 8 you lost on the grass 10lb doublestrength wasn't holding that day lol Jordan scott
Happy Days Yeh Was a nice comp and glad its still catching for you :)
just subbed to your channel enjoying very much and your fly's are great im gonnea tye some shughes soon ordered marabou from your shop
When would you use the gold or silver version…..great videos
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Used a gold shuggie and caught a fish at Avon Trout fishery today , Saved me another blank which have became the norm lately
Friggen Awesome Dave i have tied many of them after watching this video, and by a County mile your fly is a trout killer to say the least pal.
Dave could you please send me the link to get the chain eyes as would love to tie your fly the same way as you do pal.
All the best and tight lines Peter.
Thanks peter for the comments, I have managed to source the correct sized beads now.

Hi dave i enjoy watching your videos nice and simple easy to follow,does the shuggie work as good with rainbows as it does with the brownies
It works with all fish, browns rainbows sea trout salmon bonefish anything honestly ists an amazing all rounder, oh and pike love it but landing them aint easy on a normal leader
Thanks for this, new to boat fishing and heading to Loch leaven on Saturday. I'll make sure I have a few of these. Let us know how you get on today and what was working. The conditions look tough as there was a lot of green alge in the water and not much cloud cover.
Conditions were hard yes but managed 4 and had a lot of follows , needed a wind to be honest. Im back on monday :)
Still the best pattern ✌
Yip sure is for every kind of fish :)
Nice and easy 👍🏻
And Catches many a fish :) Proportions main thing
Top fly, top video. If the humongous is in your top three fly’s of all time what are your other two ? You should do a video of your top ten of all time ?
Thanks again
Simon
Thanks for the idea! i will do that was gonna save that for my book ;)
Dave, Thank you for the updated video. I watched your original Humungus series when you first did them years ago. Using materials I purchased from you then, I've had good success with this fly here in the U.S.
When you are fishing either 2 Humungus (a Silver on the point and a Gold on the top dropper) or fishing a 3 fly cast (with another fly between them), what is your preferred leader set-up?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Sorry for the very late rep[ly, but I ususally use an 18' leader with even spacings of 6' between the fly with something natural in betweeen like a claret hopper, hope your still catching best regards dvae
There's nothing like a good humungus!!
I'll need to get me some of that chenille though, mine is really sparse compared to yours, how small can you go and still keep them effective Dave?.
Great content again and loving the extra camera.
ATB Chris.
Works everywhere its a belter :) I got the fritz in stock :)
@@TheDavedownie
Go on!, twist my arm!!! 👍
How do you get your head in that little box? 😎
Top pattern, definitely one of my favourites.... I really like a white a silver booby version too...👍
Thanks Steve
Great vid, looks like an easy fly to tie as a novice, I just need a few ingredients! Where do you get the capes etc?
Sorry for the late reply, just look for a chincilla of cheap indian chinese cape the ones you usually find in the bargain bucket. I had some in stock but they did not last very long at all
Dave, Hope your summer is going well and you've been able to get in some good fishing. What is your preferred method for fishing Humungus? 1 or 2 on a cast? Or a team of 3 flies with 1 or 2 Humungus and something else? If you like fishing 2 Humungus, what is your leader setup? Thank you. Cheers,
Hi Shannon summer going ok here in Scotland thanks, hope you are well. I normally fish the silver on the point and the Gold on the top dropper with something like a claret hopper of pearly invicta in between. Usually always a three fly cast. They work better together. Generally I find the gold works better on the sunny days and Silve ron the dull days if that makes sense?
And if a fish follows the gold up and ignores it hanging the silver can usually convert that take as the fish will drop down and pick that one up.
Cheers Dave
@@TheDavedownie Dave, Thank you. That's helpful. I do appreciate it. Cheers,
Hi Dave, as for the chain eyes, do use the stainless steel or the brass and coated ones.
Thanks Rowland
Im not sure to be honest I used to buy them from B&Q but they stopp[ed selling them so ive been struggling to find them from other outlets, i think they are brass coated ones to be honest
@@TheDavedownie Thanks Dave 👍
What line is best when fishing a pair of shuggies
I like a Di-7 to be honest
Hi Dave please can you put the link up for the bog chain thanks

Hi Dave, I am fed up with buying Malibu just to have the dye come off on my fingers or the middle of the feather is white, can you confirm yours don't do this please, enjoying your 2020 videos looking forward to others
No mines does not do that :) there are many people on my facebook that will confirm this, I ins
