If you spend any time on social media or on fly tying/fishing forums inevitably you will come across someone either asking what is the easiest fly to tie or what is first fly someone should learn. Amongst a few others you can always bet your last dollar that the Wooly Bugger will be included in that list. This is a handy variation on the classic version substituting the hackle with Semperfli Ice Straggle Chenille which gives it some wonderful movement and some shine as well. A great pattern to swing around any time of year and in a range of colors. I also tie these in weighted and unweighted versions allowing you to fish different depths when required.
Happy Tying Everyone.
