Flytying for Beginners Woolly Bugger with Barry Ord Clarke

A new series of videos for those that are new to fly tying, to accompany my new book, 'fly tying for beginners' out later this year. Here I am showing techniques that may look challenging, but are totally achievable with a little patience and practice. I have slowed down the tying and explain every step in detail. If you are struggling, and have a question, post it in the comments box below, and I will try and help. Good luck!

Thank you Mr. Clarke. Your teaching style is perfect for the beginning tyer, such as myself. You have the hands of a surgeon. Beautifully tied fly. I just ordered a copy of your book “Proven Patterns: Flies for Pike”. This is going to be a new chapter of fly fishing for me. I’ve never targeted Pike with a fly rod before. Nor have I tried tying any flies for Pike. Sorry for making this such a lengthy comment. Thank you again Sir for a wonderful video. God bless.

Thank you.

Hi, very nice demonstration and some good tips, especially the one on adding the varnish to the bead head. Now I have a tip for you and your health. You just don’t know these days what toxins are used on the feathers that you get, so don’t ever wet your fingers using saliva from your month as that finger has touched items that could be toxic. It’s just not worth it, use a wet sponge or the old stamp wetting roller. Cheers mate. Harera

[@lastcoyote2355]

Great tip about the toxins. FYI punch up on your search engine “ 25 thousand barrels of DDT pesticides on ocean floor in pacific “ between Los Angeles and Catalina island. Very sad . Barrels are rusting away . Giving sea life like sea lions cancer . Wonder what we are eating ? Shrimp , oysters etc ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks for tip, I'll remember that!

@@lastcoyote2355 Hi, now you know how we get those huge eight eyed prawns and why those Californian squid are so vicious! Harera mate, kia kaha.

Awesome i learned something on the slotted bead. Thanks

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks good to know that you learned something!

[@lastcoyote2355]

Great fly as usual . Never considered using drinking straw to position hackle back . Hitting the yampa river tomorrow buggers always work great on it . Thanks

Thanks.

[@rhyswerner8749]

Awesome fly! Would love to tie it myself, what size tungsten bead did you use? Looks to be about a 4 or 4.5mm at a guess

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Rhys, I beleire this one was 4 mm but match the bead to the hook size that you are using.

[@jasonhauser748]

Mr. Clark, Could you do a video where you demonstrate how to tie the fly....then tie another of the same fly at full speed with no instruction? This is a very nice wooly bugger.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Jason, nice idea but no one would watch it...

[@mitchbain3338]

Like the idea of twisting the chenille for the body, once you palmer the hackle feather is it better to counter wrap the wire or is it just preference?
As a novice do you ever list what materials you use, nice looking fly.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Mitch, counter wrapping can be very helpful on many patterns, but with a palmered hackle it works best if you wrap both hackle and rib clockwise. This is because the hackle is wrapped sloping backwards from right to left and the wire crosses this from left to right. Try it...

[@Thefeatherbender]

I list all the materials on my website for every pattern thefeatherbender.com/fly-tying-for-beginners-woolly-bugger/
I also list them all, along with details on materials and techniques in my books: th-cam.com/video/mVLof0uXqyE/w-d-xo.html

@@Thefeatherbender Thankyou for the feedback, just like to tie flies have a 6wt and 8wt took a casting class but only gone once maybe one day I will go fly fishing with someone.

[@netrich143]

[@dahutful]

I never have understood why people say the woolly booger is a fly for the rank beginner. Hi always see it as more of an intermediate pattern

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Dave, if you are a beginner they are all challenging until you know how! The new book will turn that around and take learning fly tying to a whole new level.
