Originated by Ralph Cutter
This fly is a combination of a woolly bugger and a bunny fly and was originally tied by RALPH CUTTER and tied for muddy water brown trout. When I first saw this fly I immediately felt it would be a great fly for my Tennessee River Smallmouth and I was right….. I have always liked orange and black or brown in combination for smallmouth early in the year and this fly really fits the bill… Try them
Notes
I weight my version with about 6 turns of .20 lead. The flies I sent everyone have been weighted.
