Default Woolly Bugger and Woolly Worm

Another newbie question (probably a stupid one too). The Woolly
Bugger and Woolly Worm seem to be so similar that I wondered if it was
silly to carry both? I've tied and fished the Woolly Bugger and had
success. I've never fished a Woolly Worm. It looks pretty easy to
tie, so it wouldn't be a big deal to tie some up and try them. I need
help here, what do you think?

Use both. They look similar but behave differently and suggest different
potential food items to the fish.

Help me out here. Is it an idiot question that I asked, or are you
disagreeing with the advice from Wolfgang?

I fish a lot of smallmouth bass streams. A wooly bugger is one of my primary
flies. Tied with or without bead heads or cones heads...in different colors
from purple to pearl with and without flashabou...tied in colors to imitate
sculpins and crawfish...although not one of my favorite trout flies, I've
caught a goodly portion of my trout and steelhead on wooly buggers...

Same here, I carry both. I have some success with the bugger and trout
(weighted and small #6-10), but it seems that the crapies and smallmouth
around here prefer the worm (#2-6, weighted or not).

"Guy" John,
Where have you caught your steelies? Once you hook a steelhead... well you
know.
Kind'a like hooking a freight train.
Mine were all in Oregon.

Interesting. Here we have an on topic thread going along smoothly, without
so much as a hint of disagreement or rancor, and you feel compelled to
change that. Why do you suppose that is?
