it is like a green weenie but tied with cotton chinnel
in different colors. the material to tie them is very
hard to find. I found some of it in a small fly shop in
Indina pa, small shop in a man basement. the colors
are pink & olive & pale orange. hope this helps

My wifes uncle and I have a ton of material for honeybugs he bought the trademark years ago. We have cards of the material or tied bugs if interested you can PM me or send me an email at dei008@aol.com. He used to sell the stuff all over the country but hasn't done much with it recently because of health reasons

I heard the honeybug is not a good fly. No need to look for material or waste time tying it.

Here are the instruction for tying the honey bug.
Berger's Honey-Bug (ORIGINAL)
Instructions for tying Honey-Bug
1. Fasten hook tightly into vise at bend in the conventional manner.
2. Cutoff 3 " piece of body material and with nails of thumb and forefinger, pull 1/4" of material exposing 4 center strands.
3. Pull out one of these center strands and then pull off an additional 3/4" of body material.
4. Hold 1/2" of these center strands in your left hand against the bend of the hook and wrap tightly to the eye.
5. Then wrap the body materialtightly back to the bend, and pull off excess body material, exposing 3 strands at this end.
6. Keep 6 center strands on top of hook at the bend.
7. Cut off 6" piece of nylon thread, wet it, and wrap twice tightly around the 6 strands and hook at the bend and tie off with a square knot.
8. Cut off all excess material 1/32" from knot. No lacquer is required, but may be used if desired.
If a tail is desired, cut off center threads 3/8" from knot.
Body material may be used for wet flies or streamers.

lol all this keeping secret of a honeybug is humorous. It's really nothing special at all it's a good stocked trout pattern but what isn't.

If you fish slow moving water and are sight fishing, here's a trick...Weight one side of the hook with lead (from eye to bend and then back up to eye) then tie the honeybug material over it. When drifting it, lift the rod tip and this will cause the fly to tilt to the weighted side which is a trigger for the trout to strike.

most of the trout in the streams are stockies unless you are fishing a few select streams in central pa.
