Feel free to have a little bit of fun with this fly. This is pretty much just a wooly bugger, so anything you can think of to do with a standard bugger, you can do with this fly. For a wing that pushes more water, use a rabbit zonker in a dubbing loop for the collar of this fly. This also allows for some more color variations, as rabbit comes in more pure colors than partridge.
This is a great lightweight wooly bugger that will flutter and swing in the water for some great swing action. This is not much different from a normal bugger, so feel free to use this in any application where not much weight is needed on the fly. This will work in cool and warm water applications as well, so it will work swung or just strip retrieved.
If fishing this on the swing, use a standard swing approach and cast the fly towards the opposite bank and downstream at about a 45 degree angle. Let the current pull against the fly line to pull the fly back to your side of the river. If fishing across multiple currents or in cooler relative water temperatures, throwing an upstream mend will slow the retrieve and allow the fly to stay in the strike zone for longer.
