When I got home I went out on the Net and searched colors for Wooly Buggers and although there are a zillion colors out there, this is not one of them.
My thoughts went to, first the pink and as everyone knows pink is the Breast Cancer Cure color. Then I thought, black for cancer, pink for the cure. Thus the Breast Cancer Bugger.

Mark, you call it whatever you want. It worked for you and fly names and fly patterns have been so over used anymore that it doesn't matter in my book. I like the color of the Bugger and thought behind it. Wish I could cast one from a tube with you.............................
ReplyDeleteI'd bet that would take steelhead. Good color combo.
ReplyDeleteI like how you think sir, inspirational, and I hope it provides you with many fish and more memories.
ReplyDeleteI like your style, Mark. Great use of incorporating issues today, and the colors that represent them. Would make a great donation for a charitable event to provide in an auction.
