The Woolly Bugger is probably the most recognized fly in all of Fly Fishing. It is such a versatile fly because there are so many designs, that can be fished for so many species, in so many ways. Woolly Buggers can be used to imitate many different types of fish food for example; Dragonfly Nymphs, Damselfly Nymphs, Leeches, Crayfish, and Bait fish. This is a very good all around fly to have in your fly box. I have caught Sunfish, Crappie, Carp, Bass, Trout, and Tilapia off different Woolly Bugger Patterns. So next time your out Fly Fishing and your thinking that you need a go to fly, think about throwing a couple of Woolly Buggers in your fly box. Trust me you will be a better Fly Fisherman for it.
