This streamer, although it tends be engulfed in a haze of misunderstood inferiority, catches fish of size, and when all is said and done, that’s what really makes a fly count. When fishing the Wooly Bugger, it is most productive to use the ‘quarter turn sweep,’ or the ‘line tight’ method.

This streamer is best if fished in shadowed water, or murky waters, where fish tend to lay to stay cool. It is ideal to cast the Wooly Bugger along the edges of shadows where water meets current. Fish tend to lie along that line so they might conserve energy, but also feast on drifting insects and bugs. When fishing the Wooly Bugger, the most important rule to remember is to never let it sit dormant. The marabou tail gives it a realistic look as it waves through the water. It is that piece of the Wooly Bugger that makes this streamer so effective.
