Hello,

How do you folks fish wooly buggers ?

Do you prefer the unweighted or the weighted kind ? Why ?

Thanks,
B.
gosh, not only the first fly with some succss....but my all time favorite.

Easy to tie, the messier the better - I always use a bit of flash...small
and white in spring, greens and blues...and yellow....the small cone heads I
tumble...the mediums I streamer, the large cone heads I bump along the
bottom like a crayfish...in the proper color of course....


My main waters are small mouth and I fish them almost exclusively....heck
unweighted and shaken dry you can fish white on top water as a dying
minnow....
....Tie 'em sparse...make 'em glitter' tie them like a crayfish or a
minnow...they are easy and perhaps the most versatile fly I have ever
fished.....

.....let me see, trout ( browns rainbows), carp , catfish...grass carp, steal
head, bass, crappie, rock bass....I'd be willing to wager right here and now
that I have caught more species on a wooly than any other fly here....



....but then, I am only here for the beer....
