{{+1}}Silver surfer – silver straggle fritz bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
I was ripping the black tailed version of this fly through the chop with some success when my boat partner asked what fly is that 'silver surfer'. I explained to him that it was just a woolly bugger variant tied with a black tail and silver UV straggle fritz. I tried to give it a real name such as 'silver woolly bugger' but unfortunately 'silver surfer' has stuck.
Tied with your choice of woolly bugger tail this fly is very much a pulling fly for dirty water ... and very effective in that role.
You can of course substitute a plain, painted or anodised brass bead for the thread head and the lead wire weight as in the straggle fritz bugger.
