The wooly bugger imitates many aquatic life forms, but most folks fish it as a baitfish imitation. The quintessential wooly bugger was a spin off of the wooly worm. Flies with a palmered hackle down the entire hook shank have been documented as far back as the 1500’s. The wooly worm is a style of fly that may date back hundreds of years. Just imagine your holding wooly bugger with out a tail, or at most a small tag of yarn in place of the tail. Anyone familiar with a wooly bugger will recognize a wooly worm immediately. Coming from the same bloodline, it is just as effective as it is more famous relative.
The wooly worm is a predecessor to one of the most popular and effective flies ever invented, the wooly bugger.
