bushy's bongo

Bushy's Bongo
Created by the Australian "Bushy" Bush as a saltwater streamer for tarpon. For larger predators in saltwater it is tied up to six inches or more but for a smaller quarry it can be sized down. Just like clousers and deceivers it makes the transition to freshwater easily.

thread- red
tail- 2-6 grizzle hackles and some flash
collar- 2 grizzle hackles
eyes- bead chain

  1. When you say 2 - 6 grizzle hackles, do you men quantity? 6 would be a pretty bushy fly!! I'll be hitting the vice with this pattern for sure!
