Tying the Humongous (Woolly Bugger) with Davie McPhail 

Hi Davie. I have 1 of those but somehow or other a red dye underneath the dumbbell eyes on my fly adds a hotspot am thinking if you could make a cutthroat version of this to see what it would look like to you

Hey Davie, God I'm happy I found your channel. Great quality great flies and great skills. I'm a 15 year old in Dumfries and you channel has been a godsend, a fly tying channel from Scotland!

Can you tie a grasshopper pattern .You tie good flies .

From Wooly Buggers to fully dressed Atlantic salmon flies, Davie ties with immense talent. ( If I wasn't able to fish a Wooly Bugger I'd probably catch half the fish I do!)

Я не пойму почему у людей вызывает смех роботы с феном, это просто демонстрация примерной роботы мухи в воде, классная муха.

Is this hackle type/color what has been referred to as gray chinchilla?

The scene with the hairdryer, I had to laugh hahaha. Another great example of master craftmanship. Thank you very much for sharing Mr. McPhail.

👍💪

Very nice as usual Davie, I've caught a few brownies with the ones I tied on size 12,14 hooks, they tended to just nibble at the tail of the larger sizes,probably because the trout were a bit on the wee size. ATB 🍺

I'm surprised that fly rides hook point up with only bead chain eyes. My experiences is that bead chain eyes aren't enough weight to cause, or at least guarantee, that the hook rides point up. Is there something else about this fly that makes that happen? Thanks - your vids are great!

Отличная тобота и муха робочая 100%.

Hi Davie. As usual a very nice pattern. I will tie this in a bit smaller sizes (10-12) because the trout here like the smaller things. Please what's the vise you're using. I like the fine but still very strong point of that thing. As usual greetings and tight lines from the Čech Republic 🇨🇿. Robin.

It's odd, finding so many of your videos I have not seen before! And I call myself an admirer! If you go to a craft or sewing shop, you can find the same type of bead chain in coloured plastic and it won't cause your fly to swim upside down. Though sometimes you do want that but of weight! Pretty nice pattern Davie!!

Love this fly.. the real take away here is the stuff you say while you are tying... the tip about how the fly rides chain eyes down is very valuable to us.. this is a beautiful take on the bugger... thanks again for sharing your knowledge... J

Title saids it all. I wonder how your woolly burger would work to turn it into a articulated streamer it looks awesome great ty!

Hi Davie, thanks for your tutorials well explained and give me the confidence to try. Been trying for a year and proving successful.

Hi Davie, excellent video as always, I was wondering whether you could do the Peter Ross at some point?

Great bugger mate. The bass and crappie would for sure jump on that. Thanks for sharing my friend. And happy holidays to you and you family. Best Regards, Ken

An excellent example of a tested and true fly pattern.. I live in Northern Australia in Barramundi and crocodile country and most saltwater fly fisherman here will take a Woolly Bugger over a Clouser..

the stalks at the end of the beads need to be cut off as they tend to shred the mono leader through time and you will be broken off, also take a sharpening stone to the end of the eyes because their is a burr on the end of each bead that chaffs the linel been tying a fly called the fozzie dog since 1989 we also had a black version of this way before the humungus was ever thought of. thanks to ian muckle of the last cast fishing club in bridge of earn

Great looking flys Davie; guess the wife knows by now where the chain for the bathtub plug went eh? I was drilled on that one couple times ...good job bud!! Irresistible looking animal!

I like that very nice...want buy its Thank Dave.

Made me laugh when the hairdryer appears out of nowhere haha

I've caught pike and bass on this fly different colours as well as trout

Thank you for the video M.McPhail..

Nice looking fly Davie. The (basic) woolly bugger was the first fly I was shown how to tie a few years back. Many thanks for sharing.

You and I tie the hackle in in the same fashion. I really think that it give more control over the look of the fly rather than those who tie it in at the rear and wrap forward. I find your technique of wrapping the eyes in last intriguing.

Здравствуйте Davie McPhail! Очень просто, быстро и классно. Смотреть как Вы изобретаете, одно удовольствие. Спасибо за ваш труд!!! Сергей Н.

Were do you get your marabou. Every time I find some supposedly select marabou i get about 1 good feather out if the bunch... awesome fly once again!

Will tie a few and test them on the trout and on a bigger size hook for Sharp tooth Catfish here in South Africa

beautifully tied as usual Davie. Lovely. Could work for pike and perch too.

Очень вкусная муха! (Very tasty fly!))))

Nice takeoff of the bugger , easy and inexpensive to tie . I like it :-/

Hay David now you are getting to trying a fly from Scotland

Simply the best Davie

Afternoon davie, fantastic shuggie, absolutely love this pattern and you have it to a fine art. Iv been using metz grizzle hackle but it's a bit small compared to the hackle you use. Do you have a link or a specific name for the hackle?. Iv tried searching for Chinese grizzle hackle but I can't find a pinch of it.

Awesome Davie Awesome as per normal, all the best Peter and tight lines pal.

Another great pattern Davie. I’ll try this one and see how I manage the tie! lol. Thank you for another one.

Lovely fly Davie as always Just one question. I'm a bit confused on chain bead eyes and where to tie them. Not so much on this pattern as you've explained that having them on top will flip the fly over which is your intention. I have seen patterns with marabou wings (cats whiskers, viva's etc) where people still put the chain eyes on top. Surely this flips the fly over which for a winged fly cant be right? Thanks again.

Thank you Davie, appreciate it, great fly

Enjoyed it, Davie... thank you. Mike

cukup satu kata "Sempurna" 👍

Find it hard to call these flies, great job tho 👍🏻

Good video sir! I'm going assume that you are using these for Atlantic's? I'm also going assume that you can use various colors. I've been tying for a while but hadn't seen that tinsel method. I like it & am going to start using it.

Awesome fly, good color combo! 🎣

Great bugger Dave!

Another great tie Davie. Thank you.

Another great pattern and tying Davie

A wolly bugger is a necessary in all anglers fly boxes. There are limitless varieties but now I have a template for another. Thanks David, beautifully done as always.

Enjoyed this lesson thank you sir

great fly.... I kept thinking it would be awesome in gold vs silver

Красота! Хоть на ёлку вешай )

Nice Bugger!!!! 😎

Manos de plata

Wonderful!!!

Спасибо!Красиво!!!👍👍👍

Une super mouche,j'adore,good job

Как всегда на высоте!!!

Thanks Davie, great.explanation. I have tied similar flies using olive green colured feathers and body on No.4 hooks with a tungsten bead for fresh run rainbows taking them deep on a sinking line. They take with a huge strike that takes your arm off (slight angler exaggeration). They are usually big fish but even the smaller three pounders will take a huge fly. Keep it up, love to watch and listen to your comments.
