I don't get to fish much anymore because of disability but the wolly buggers are my top bass busters here in NC. a good portion of flys I tye are pink. over 20 years ago our north carolina state biological expert tested 80 different fish species with colors to test reactions. in his article said most angulars thought fish loved the color pink. he said not so. he said the color pink irritated and adjusted the fish and they would go after it to get it out of there immediate area, especially trout and crappie. so when fish a stubborn I always have a supply of variations ot pink flys. they have saved the day many times . My buggers I tye range from size 7 to 3/0 . papa wishing you well 😊
There is no fast moving water on the TN Plateau. Maybe some decent rain this week. Good selection, can’t go wrong with a bunny booger or wooly bugger. I have good luck with a gurgler. Super simple to tie and the smallies gobble them. Great video.
Hey Tom- if you’re watching on a mobile device, click “more” under the title to expand the description. That will show the full episode discretion that had a link for a tutorial on each fly. Thanks for watching
Binging your channel today at work...waiting for the weekend. I'm starting tying myself. I find all these fly patterns require different hooks which is ok, but is there a good size hook thats "universal" that I should always have?
Thanks for binging. My go-to hook that I find very versatile and use in a lot of patterns is the Gamakatsu B10S Stinger Hook. I use size 6 and 8 depending on what size fly I want, but I could tie the crawfish, bunny leech (it would be a bit shorter), the Sam's One and the Spider all with this hook.
