Perfection. One of the most beautiful flies I've seen. I can seeing this working great on Kalamazoo River Smallmouths. Thanks, Charlie.

[@flycache1182]

Love it, such an underrated pattern.

[@MatthewEvey]

Love watching you tie and talk. Love the old school patterns so much.

[@locomtn16a2]

That is a Beautiful fly!!!

[@Adipper]

I can see why this fly made your day Charlie, thanks for twisting one up. The use of tubing over mylar is new to me, nice looking and functional.

Old school good....yellow and perdy
..real good...Charlie's touch...super good

[@colindan1483]

I enjoy the old stuff. I have some Joseph bates books. I am only 33. I don't care too much about the newer age articulated streamers. I prefer to keep classic streamers alive

I think it will be a great snook fly. Tie it yellow white gray.

[@edherrmann182]

Great tie. I’ve been tying some of your old school files along with several of the many others on Eric Austin’s traditional fly site. That site is a magnificent resource with such a large selection and materials listed. Thanks Charlie. I’ll tie this one up and fish it.

And Use them this Year on the

[@paulbridgers3820]

Great looking fly thanks for sharing.

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

That looks cool!!!

[@tinoyb9294]

Not exactly the original pattern, just better. Good color scheme for a wooly bugger.

[@MatthewEvey]

Wooly bugger? This isn't a wooly bugger

[@tinoyb9294]

@@MatthewEvey tie a yellow and brown wooly bugger?

[@MatthewEvey]

I thought you were calling this fly a wooly bugger.
