This is a Chris Stewart pattern combining two great patterns - Frank Sawyer’s Killer Bug and a Woolly Bugger.

Tying Thread - copper wire small
Body - wool yarn - here Shetland spindrift “Oxford”
Tail - marabou - here black

This fly can of course be tied using thread and weighting the body with wire wraps. Other good options are beads and even using a jig hook.

Other good colors are white and olive.

Enjoy!
