Excellent job Roland! Fantastic flies everyone!

Man that Disco is one UGLY fly next to all those others!!

[Rolan Duffield]

jOrOb:

Should I have dressed the "Disco" fly to look similar to the appearance of a jig (strands laid back) before taking the pic?

Would be glad to redo it. Just let me know how you want it to look.

Rolan,

Thanks for the great photos. It made my sloppy ant look like it was really something. Good looking flies all the way around.

Quite the contrary Roland, you captured the essence of the Disco. It is supposed to be wild and wooley.

You good picture taker!!

jOrOb; that Disco fly reminds me of a pattern I tie called a shaggy dog. I don’t tie many because they are a real bugger to put together, and won’t last through many fish. I take light gray marabou using a magic tool, and split thread dub it forward in succeeding layers. If I had a digital camera that takes good close-ups, I’d post a snapshot.

I think I originated the Disco Bugger. It has 3 great selling points. #1, it's easy to tie, #2, it catches fish, lots of them, #3, it's cheap to tie, uses only 3 materials including hook. Go to Wal-Mart, buy a skein of Disco Yarn in your choice of color, tie it in at bend of hook, you can furl it for a tail if desired, not necessary in smaller sizes. Wrap the yarn forward to tie-off point, stroking fibers back after each wrap. Double or triple strands of yarn for larger sizes. Super easy, super effective.
