Buford

This is Brad Bohen tying his Buford. A pike and muskie fly that Brad designed. This appeared in an issue of Southern Culture on the Fly emagazine. This has become a very popular fly in the pike and muskie world.
However, I noticed that I had not posted about the Buford on FrankenFly before, so I definitely wanted to do that.

NOTE: This is Brad Bohen’s Buford tied by Paul Monaghan. As Paul states in the video, he ties it a little bit sparser than Brad. Also, you will notice that Paul uses a shank on his in the back. Brad just ties his on a single large hook as stated in the above video.

From Paul Monogham:
“Don’t ignore this fly, as it’s a true pike catcher on my rivers. Inspired by it’s creator ‘Brad Bohen’ and awesome variants by the likes of David (Sully) O’Sullivan, Tony Sandrone (Nightmare Musky Flies) and many more. I’ve tied this variant sparse to aid casting and speed up the tying (20mins). For muskies add more bucktail.”

Musky Fly from Fly Fish the Mitt

From Fly Fish the Mitt:
“This musky fly has been very effective for me. I started tying it this last summer for pike and musky with good success. I’ve tied it in a few different variations of colors but this one seems to be the goto for the rivers we fish. Credit to Eli of Great Lakes Fly (www.greatlakesfly.com). I started tying it after I got some Foosa’s from Eli. It’s sort of the same idea as the Foosa but not as complex…probably not tied as well either. It’s a simple pattern to tie that doesn’t take too long and has been pretty effective.”
