      4..What type of hackle used?

      5..Bead Head or Not?

      6..Lead wire used or not, what size for wire .10,.15,.20,etc…If used how many wraps??

      7..Flash or not? Type of flash?

      8..Any tips,suggestions,etc..while tying a woolly bugger?

      I appreciate everyone’s opinions and suggestions!

      Here’s a video by Tim Flagler tying a Wooly Bugger. I’ve tied a few of these up. Here’s the link or it’s also on the FATC website under Fly Tying.

      I believe that video shows one of the best ways to tie a Wolly Bugger. It is the one that uses wire to secure the hackle in place. Excellent durability on this fly.
