The Wooly Bugger is arguably the most effective fly in the world, and this hack will help you tie more effective smaller Woolly Buggers! Hen hackle moves better than rooster hackle, and this whiting red label hen saddle has a GREAT taper. Color combos are endless, but this brown version is really really good!
