If you went back just a few years and you a asked an average fly fisher to name his for her favorite fly chances are it would be an unweighted, or lightly weighted probably with a few turns of lead wire, Fuzzy Wuzzy. The traditional Fuzzy Wuzzy has always been useful as a river and lake fly leading up to, through and just after the spawning season.

This fly just extends the application of the standard Fuzzy Wuzzy an little further and the simple addition of the tungsten bead head makes it easier to get this fly down and bumping along the bottom where the fish are.

Materials

Process

A	Most beads have a large opening at one end and a smaller opening at the other. Slide a tungsten bead over the point of the hook small opening first and position it behind the eye of the hook. Wind the thread in touching turns to the bend of the hook. Understanding hooks Tie in a tail as long as the hook shank. Tails on flies

B	Wind on or dub on a small ball of teased out glow bug yarn. Try to make the balls as round and uniform as possible.

C	Tie a hackle in directly in front of the first ball Wind a hackle three or four time around the hook shank in front of the first ball with each wrap of hackle being in front of the last one.

D	Stroke the fibers backward and tie them down so that they slope slightly backward and nestle neatly against the ball. Dub on a second ball of glow yarn in front of the hackle . Select a second hackle either with the same length of slightly longer barbules and tie it in in front of the second ball bbetween the second ball and the bead. Wind a hackle three or four time around the hook shank with the last wrap being just behind the bead.

E	Lock the hackle into position with a couple of firm wraps of thread and trim away the excess hack butt with a sharp blade. Stroke the fibers backward and take several wraps of thread directly behind the bead forming a collar to hold them in position so that they slope slightly backward and nestle neatly against the front ball. Whip finish over the collar. Trim the thread and varnish the collar and the bead. If you don't varnish it may tarnish quite quickly.
