BULLDOG

GOLDEN OLIVE SHOWN
Fly Tied and Photo taken by Charlie Wilson

This fly is a “woolley bugger” The materials are as close as I could find.

HOOK	Size 6 – 10 Teck Twin MSF300 or Tiemco 5263
THREAD	Uni 8/0 Waxed (Olive Dun) or equal
TAIL	Marabou (Root Beer or Burnt Orange) – (Very Important)
RIB	Ultra Copper Wire (Small)
BODY	Crystal Chenille (Golden Olive or Chartreuse) Medium for size 6 – 8 and Small for size 10
HACKLE	Grizzly Hackle dyed Olive (Very important)

TYING NOTES:

1. Lay down a thread base on the shank of the hook.

2. Tie in a marabou tail. One shank length.

3. Tie in copper wire around 3” to 4” long.

4. Tie in crystal chenille and wind forward.

5. Tie in the base of the hackle at front of shank (leave enough room to form the head). Wind hackle to rear counter clock wise. Hold onto tip.

6. Capture the end of the hackle with the copper wire to hold hackle in place. Wind copper wire forward (4 wraps) counter clock wise. Tie off. The wire rib will make the fly more durable.

7. Form a head and whip finish.
