From Orvis:
“The Woolly Bugger can be improved by adding an articulated body that gives the fly added wiggle and motion. It will catch nearly any gamefish in fresh or salt water by varying the size and color. It’s especially deadly on trout and smallmouth bass. It’s a time-consuming fly to tie, but not very difficult.”
