ParticipantNice fat brown there!
You can fish bead headed wooly buggers in much the same way with a floating line [or [i:2hkj40zt]were[/i:2hkj40zt] you using a floating line?] when you strip it rises in the water slightly and when it sinks, because of the bead head, the marabou tail gives a very nice looking flutter.03/03/2009 at 6:40 pm #12664gunnercoops
