How can you not love the Woolly Bugger – the simple time-tested streamer. It’s one of those flies that may have been your first tie, but you’re still tying and fishing it 20 years later.

And that’s because fish eat it. Baitfish, crayfish, large bug or leech – whatever the switch in a trout or bass’s brain is looking for, the Woolly Bugger triggers it.
