This fly, the tube version of the old reliable wooly bugger, has been a very productive one this year for steelhead. It can be tied in many other colors besides white by simply substituting the appropriate colored material.
Tube: Plastic tube cut to length.
Tail: White Marabou with some pearl or silver flash added
Body: White crystal chenille.
Hackle: White Schlappen palmered through the body.
Rib: Oval silver tinsel counter rapped over hackle.
Head: Silver cone.
