Body - Black floss

Throat - Yellow bucktail

Underwing - Orange bucktail 

Wing - White marabou

The Fox Hole Special is one of the better landlocked salmon streamers, and brook trout will take it as well. It’s a so-called attractor pattern, and best described as a dressed-up Black Ghost Marabou, with yellow and orange bucktail and a shoulder added, the latter to imitate a gill plate. The fly is easy to see, has great action, and is just different enough that it will catch fish in pressured waters where the fish see pretty much everything else. The Fox Hole Special is one of the top ten landlocked salmon streamers in Maine.

Marabou

 How I prepare a marabou feather for woolly bugger tails

I look for a marabou feather with fine slender flues

I strip out the lower flues from the stem

I then snip out the flues from the tip to eliminate the tip stem

I then gather all of the flues into the shape shown above 

Measure the marabou to about shank length

Tie in the marabou and bury the flues under the tying thread

When I weight the hook with wraps of lead-free wire the tie in procedure is exactly the same

A simple bucktail pattern devised by Taff Price and first published in his book Lures for Game, Coarse, and Sea Fishing in the early 1970s. This fairly somber fly, with just a touch of color in its make-up, proved highly successful for brown trout, although rainbows are not averse to taking it, either.
