Making a Woolly Bugger Head

Video Transcript

Last thing to finish off the fly is to make a head and to whip finish it. I just grab the hackle and pull it back. Really, the head's not that important. You just want to kind of make a tapered finish, just so it looks nice, so I'll just wrap the thread, give it a bunch of wraps, till I get a nice taper to it. Then, I get my whip finish tool and we're going to trap it, make that little four shape with it, then we're going to use the tool to wrap this thread and the hook shank with this thread and that locks that thread to finish the fly off. Maybe five wraps, pop it off the whip finisher, pull it tight and you could put a second whip finish on it, but since we're going to put head cement on it, we'll just cut it off here, nice and close. Take our head cement, just put a drop on there, just enough to soak through the thread, maybe give it a little quick turn and it is done. One black woolly bugger.
