The ONLY Streamer you NEED!

The wooly bugger is potentially the world's most extraordinary streamer pattern. They can catch just about anything from trout to bass and every fish in between. This is one of my favorite variations and can be tied in various colors.

Thanks for watching! I'm surprised we made it this far without posting this one! Also got another long-format video coming up since you all seemed to enjoy that.

I tie this in all yellow and have lost count of the number of species of fish I have landed using it - pan fish, LL salmon, steelhead, brook trout, any stocked trout, smallmouth and largemouth and striped bass, arctic char, grayling, bull trout and even a tiger muskie. My wife is Phd biologist and she was at a conference and was talking to some marine biologists. It was a time when brightly colored wetsuits were in fashion and an abnormally high number of divers wearing yellow wetsuits were getting bit by sharks. So many that they started calling it "yum yum yellow." So, I started tying all yellow streamers and my success went way up.

100% AGREE!!! 2 seasons ago I tied up a bunch of Lance Egan's jig streamers. It's very similar to this pattern. Since then I've found this fly to be by far the most productive streamer I've fished. Black/UV-blue is absolutely dynamite!

I love this variation verses older buggers. Looks like the Krystal flash with the wire will really help this pattern. Thanks for the great tutorial. Tight lines to all.

I love using purple wooly buggers w/o a bead head so they swim in the 1-3 foot range. Best used in low light (early morning/late evening. When the sky is turning from midnight black to midnight blue/ midnight blue to midnight black) its absolutely a killer. Tied in sizes 8-16...

Beautifully proportioned Wonly Bugger! I love watching you tie! Your movements are so fluid, precise and economical it's a genuine pleasure to view your videos.

PS In South Africa we would call that pattern a Speed Cop (Highway Patrol Officer).... Because it has a helmet and a blue flash

[RobertPorterNZ]

You really make it look so simple, another great video and howdy from New Zealand

[MikeSalesTheTwispAngler]

I like. I bet that pattern would work for smallmouth bass in Banks Lake Washington. 😃

Definently gonna try one of these. Such a cool fly! Looks really good!

[FishingwithBradLake]

Love these videos man. Just watched this for motivation. About to tie a few flies and a pack of jigs up.

This is one of the best fly tying channels on YouTube..

[TightLinesNW]

classic and effective. Thanks for sharing!

[bobsiddoway]

There’s a micro version I’ve seen! Works too well! 🔥🔥🔥

[justinsure]

Amazing pattern ❤ my new deep water go to 🎉

[lastcoyote]

When I was a pimp …. Years ago …. All my girls would get a good schlappen !!!😂😂😂

[jeffleaver]

Id humbly suggest 1.5x length maribou will result in a lot of missed strikes. Good looking fly though.

[richiebag]

Do you also tie any salt water flies.
Could you do a salt water fly series. There are some cool patterns and designs.

[Looselipsoftruths]

lol add a little flash with the wire it looks like a disco ball. Nice fly will add it to the box

[Porterrockvids]

When do you think you will make a thread tension video

Loved the fly but it is hard to see a dark colored fly against a dark colored background.
