Articulated Hen Bugger

Cheech - September, 2023

Articulated flies can be kind of difficult and challenging for a newer tyer so this pattern should simplify this process. If you can tie a wooly bugger, you can tie this fly. Also, as an experienced tyer, it's kind of fun to identify flies that you can quickly tie but still maintain maximum effectiveness... This is that fly. Change up colors, add flash, change weight system etc.
