    i guess this more resembles a simulator/bugger cross(?)... i guess.
    either way, i dont fish it much

    spoof
    if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"

    I am partial to Denny Rickard's Seal Buggers...



    This one has been chewed on a couple of times...with or without cones...they connect for me in still or moving waters.

    I think woolies have a lot to do with confidence. I have caught MANY fish on wooly worms (primarily with a red tail) but practically nothing on wooly buggers. Having tied hundreds, and bought several dozen, I don't think I can blame the pattern. Having read may articles on presentation and followed them, I don't think that's the problem. Basically, there are a lot of other flies I know I can use to catch fish. Consequently, those other flies work better for me because I have confidence in them.
