S.B.B. (Smallmouth Bunny Bugger) - UNDERWATER FOOTAGE - Bass streamer - McFly Angler

- There is no question that the wooly bugger is an effective and versatile fly. This is a variation of it that I find make it more effective for targeting bass. While I have used it for largemouth in the past, this specific tie is for smallmouth bass. Being chartreuse, (a popular color pattern for smallmouth in my area) it works great! Along with 2 other fly patterns, I was able to get 12+ smallmouth bass the last trip I took. This one alone got 3 of them.
This fly could be tied a bit smaller, or larger for other species as well. I find a size 8-10 hook works well with trout (also a regular sized zonker) and a size 1/0-3/0 works well for pike. You could also use this for walleye (6-10 size) or crappie (10-14 size). You can change the colors up to what ever suits your area. So give it a try!

Awesome fly! Ill have tie a few and test these out in the ponds around here. Great videos as always and congrats to the winner!
Thanks man! Yeah give it a try! Bass will eat this up. For largemouth try a more brown or olive. Even try using a dumbbell on the top to turn the point over and reverse all the materials to the opposite side. This will allow you to fish the bottom with no snagging, this could be a good crawfish pattern as well.
Now that is some great underwater footage. Great fly too!!
Thank you
Excellent mate! Keep em comin.
Awesome looking streamer. Will have to try this one. I will be fishing this on the Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Both rivers run through the middle of our city. Great Smallmouth waters. Thanks for an awesome video of how to tie this one.
Sounds like great rivers. Hope it works well for ya, thanks!
nice tie sir! I am moving in the next few weeks to Michigan and will be getting into some good bass water. Looking forward to tying this.
Thanks! Yeah tell me how you do!
Sick spinoff with the traditional wolly bugger as a base. Nice work
thanks
Thanks for the giveaways. That is pretty cool of you. Not el cheapo gifts either! i cant get out of work early enough to partake but its been fun to watch. Great video, as usual. keep on doing what you do. Thanks again.
Thanks Honey! Sorry you werent able to participate. Maybe I will try to figure a way out for you to participate on the next giveaway. I think my next one will be at 10k subs. So please share with everyone you know to make that happen sooner than later.
While I will share your videos, and I hope you reach 10,000 subscribers by tomorrow, don't go out of your way for me. I appreciate the thought.It was fun to watch and that was enough. In truth, I hope the winners of this giveaway and yesterdays for that matter, needed it or will use it more than I. Sometimes, it makes me happy just to see others happy.
Thats nice of you. I don't think I will reach 10k tomorrow, but would be nice before the end of the year. I hope one day to have enough income from this to be able to do more giveaways! So maybe soon you can get a chance! Thanks for watching and sharing Honey! :) God bless ya!
Love this fly
thank you! :)
nice pattern. audio and video superb!
Thanks Frank! :)
Nice fly. Thanks for the video.
Thank you
Very nice pattern, I like simple but effective flies
Thanks
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing! I subscribed!
Thanks man!
Nice fly! Those guppies are getting big too. Hope you catch a lunker. All the best. Sean
Thanks! :)
I am going to be rude and impulsive here I suppose. I follow several folks who do a lot of fly fishing videos.The one courtesy I can extend to them for their trouble, is to watch the ad at the beginning of the show. There is not a lot of money per watch, but when enough of us do it and the McFly videos multiply, then maybe it will help pay for some expenses. I look at it as an easy thank you for the work that folks put into sharing their information with us.
This is not rude. Its a nice gesture. However I would never ask people to watch or click. In fact I'm not supposed to ask this. All I can say is thank you thats kind, but I'm just happy to have you (and all my subscribers) watch. There is no need to watch the ads. I appreciate you just the way you are. :)
I follow a couple of very prolific and expert tyers and the courtesy is extended. You do not have to ask, here I did it for you. Us Canadians are just too darned worried about other people LOLOL.
Good stuff!
Thank you
Thats a good fly. I tie and fish a bunny bugger variant - marabou tail as std with the body getting a dubbing under body and a "hackle" of rabbit fur. I used to wrap zonker strips but have since done away with that, using dubbing loops and spinning rabbit fur into it. A bit of flash, ice dub, or laser dub can be added for extra attraction. Unweighted they sink slow and suspend. Weighted they go deeper, obviously but need a stout rod to cast well. Works well on bass, trout, even panfish that get real hungry.
Sounds like a good fly as well!
Dig the new intro mo-graph!!
+American Fisherman mo-graph?
Thanks man, a nice guy helped with the logo, he owns a marketing company. So that's was nice if him.
Motion Graphics.
HAHA thanks
That looks deadly! I imagine this would work great for big brown trout, too.
Thank you! And yes I would think so, especially still water fishing for browns
I’ll have to tie some up and try it out. There’s a few rivers where I’m from where bass and trout live side by side.
Nice, what state?
Iowa. The eastern half in the Driftless region
Oh I’ve never been there... one of the few I’ve not visited.
The brookies and the smallmouth should like this one.
Thanks
Dude! Great stuff!
One quick question: Does this ride hook up or down?!
Thanks and have a great week!!
Thanks, I believe this one is hook down.
May i ask a dumb question... Why is the eye pointed down? I have straight eye streamer hooks. would that ruin the action? Does it make the hook ride down? I guess i am just being cheap but didn't want to run out and get the hook if it wasn't really needed. Thanks for any insight. Sorry i know i bug you a lot lately but been learning alot from you. i do appreciate it.
No, just use the straight eye. I am using this one because its what I have. Eye down makes it jig a bit more, and straight eye will do more of a glide. But it all works.
No your not bugging man! :) Its all good.
What type of line and leader presentation would you use with this fly?
Depends, most of the time I am fishing 6wt for smallmouth. I’d say a 16lb leader, tip with 12lb flouro tippet. But it can vary depending on your situation.
@@McFlyAngler are you fishing a floater or sinking line?
Well at the lake I used to fish for them, I would throw a sink tip often. But also floating line as well. However where I live now it’s mostly rivers and creeks which sink tips are not necessary.
that is a good lookin fly I bet the fish think so too.
+WissahickonWild thank you! Caught a few smallmouth io it.
Hi McFly Angler, how long is this fly when finished? I missed it if you mentioned the length. It looks great in the water. Thank you for always showing how the flies look when wet.
About 2-3 inches. The length will depend on how you tie it and what hooks you use
Got it
Nope, you were 5 seconds behind Andrew.
woa thats alot of layers nice fly but id def size up the hook two sizes on something that long
Thanks, and yeah use a larger hook. The beauty of tying your own flies is to be able to customize them to your own needs and wants
Hey man, on average how much thread do you go through an a bass type fly? I.e. Clouser/streamer.
Not much man, a spool will last probably 100+ flies. Just learn thread control. Try to tie them with less thread. No need for extra wraps when you attach materials.
@@McFlyAngler Agreed. Generally speaking, 2-3 wraps is all thats needed to tie in any material. If your attaching multiple materials on in the same tie in point, you can even back a wrap or two out before the next material. This helps keep the fly neet without bulges of thread building up. Learning this kind of thread control is critical as your flies get smaller . ( i.e like dry flies or midges for trout.)
Man that thing looks just like a lizard swimming around!
Lol! Well that’s not a bad thing with smallmouth! Lol! Thanks man.
I guess I should ask what length would you suggest for smallmouth bass?
2-3”
It all depends on the forage in your local waters.
👏👏👏👏👍🍻🎣
Thank you
congrats to winner
Thank you for being so nice Ant! :)
I would use chartreuse dubbing to stabilize the cone because I can't afford I've resin
UV not I've autocorrect sucks
I got ya. Yeah, that could work if you don't have UV resin. Just so you know, Solarez has a sample pack for $8 or something like that... Its not too badly priced. Of course you would need to get a curing light. They sell that same kit with a light for like $40 or something... But If thats too much, they do sell some Chinese made ones online. They aren't too good of quality, and might break within a few months, but it would get you started. But really for this fly, its not too necessary, just use the dubbing like you said.
What is the brass cone head?
It’s a cone head….
@@McFlyAngler yes！What mm?
Oh ok, I don’t remember which I used, been a while since I made this video, maybe 4 years ago. I’m sure I probably said in the video or description section. If not give me a day or two. Kinda busy to go back and watch and try to figure it out right this second. Give me a few days k?
Thank you(^人^)
You said cone head I immediately thought of Dan Aykroyd
LOL, actually a while back I was trying to find an online place I could buy coneheads for cheep (like bulk) and I typed in google "conehead for sale" and well, yeah, the movie DVD came up for sale. HAHA
Good video! When you tie,how many of that fly will you tie? I usually tie six of each fly.I test them out in my swimming pool,neighbors see me some times,think i'm crazy!
Thanks for making all the videos! Ernie
It depends on the fly.... For instance, if I start tying small (easy) midges, like zebra midge, KF Emerger's, etc.... I will tie like 20+ of them. Just get a lot of them done. But for streamers, it can be 2-10 depending. I will tie up 10 wooly buggers, but some of the larger more complicated flies (like my squishy head bluegill) I will tie only 2, because they take 45 minutes to tie. Also, I generally don't loose as many streamers as small midges/nymphs. I am dredging the bottom with the midges, so I will loose a lot. But for streamers, I am fishing a heavier line, and I rarely loose them since they are mostly on the top of the water, or at least suspended.
У нас Щука любит этот цвет , Жерех и Окунь.
+ВАСИЛИЙ Коваленко thank you for the comment, however I don't speak this language. Is it Russian?
We love this color Pike, perch and asp.
Thank! Yeah, could work for pike if tied larger, perch if tied smaller.
Dang
Sorry Ty! I really wish I had 5,000 of these to give away to each of my subs.
No problem I really like your videos
Thanks Ty! :)
I never shut up! Tie this with white bunny, a bit of flash and red rubber legs and you have Bull Trout fodder!
Yeah, there is lots of potential with this pattern. I plan on doing a few versions coming up. Thanks for the tip!

So close! Sorry!
Awesome video, Gus does some fly tying himself. These videos are extremely informative and great quality. That fly looks amazing in the water. Will have to try fly fishing for smallmouth this summer. Subscribed & liked, please check out our channel / sub if you get the chance.
Cool channel guys. Keep up the good work!
