I took a class many years ago. Not sure why, as I had been tying for many years before hand. I think it was more to learn about different hooks, and material.
Right off they told me I was way advance.
Anyway, I remember, we learned the GLOW BUG, and la fontaine’s sparkle pupa’s, Woolly Buggers AND the MATUKA, It is a fairly easy tie.

Look at it this way...a Matuka CAN be a Woolly bugger without the tail and the hackle tied in by the ribbing length wise instead of wrapped.

I agree sis.. was not saying it was a hard tie.. :-).. just saying I remember like it was this past summer that I was all thumbs intially.. (still am when I first get back on the vise).. and a wooly is a very easy tie to get over the thumbsy part before moving up.. to adding the extra parts.. lol.. well for me anyway.. [:p]

Looks like you tie in two hackles. One for a long wing the other right behing the head?

It is actually two feathers down the back , back to back, and then one for a soft hackle collar. You can also tie the bodies out of Floss, chenille, and dubbing.
