I've been tying (the above WoollyMugger) for two full seasons now.
But it wasn't until this spring and this fall that I really got a
chance
to let this fly show me its stuff.

This is the best *big* fish fly I know.
LIttle WoolyMuggers (less than 3" long) are good all-purpose
streamers. But the big ones (3-6" long) have juju over big
brown trout. You don't have to strip them. WoollyMuggers
move almost automatically, with sensuous waves that travel
from front to back, even when drifting. With the WoollyMugger
there is no dead drift.......instead, it's more like a live drift.

Damn good fly.
Looks it, Sandy.......It looks as if it would be more fragile,
with the saddle-hackle base for the structure of it. Is it??
