| 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
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!
ReplyDeleteyes quantity, i think i used 4 and could see even a more busy tail
DeleteI don't know what's better...the name or the fly? That looks like a wicked pattern, may gather up some stuff if i can just stop tying woolybuggers...they are fish catching machines!!
ReplyDeletei know, its hard to get away from the tried and true
DeleteSweet Pattern! I just saw this somewhere else as well. Simple yet effective! I like it!
ReplyDeletei hope it passes my tests as well as the black prince ;)
