A novice tier, I tied Art Sheck's Jonah version of a Wooly Bugger, attached a piece of tippet, and "retrieved" it through water in a big piece of glassware. My immediate thought was that it's movement didn't much resemble what I think a leech or other edible looks like. Looking for video closeups of a Wooly Bugger being retrieved to compare it with, I found two. Although I didn't think they were that dissimilar when static, they look considerably different when moving. In pauses, the hackle and tail appear more spiky and less pulsating than the Wooly Bugger toward the end of this video

or the early part of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi2ov6Zh6Fg

Has anyone compared catchability based on observable differences in dynamic behavior as well as static appearance? Do the hackles and tails need to be full enough that they appear to pulse rather than spike? For the standard wet flies, the need for sparse hackles is emphasized.

Any closeup videos of the in-water behavior of other wet flies?
