This pattern is essentially a standard Woolly Bugger pattern with the addition of a gold bead head. The bead head gets these flies down to the right depth as well as adding some fish-catching flash and movement. Per 3.
Sizes: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.
Colors:(003)Black, (009)Olive.
These things flat out catch steelhead. I keep a fly box loaded with them. Spring and fall this is my go to fly. Some days its the only fly I tie on and I've not been disappointed. For me they work just as good as more expensive woolly buggers from fly shops.
Location:I reside in Somerset, Kentucky but fish far afield

Gold Bead Wooly Bugger
Date:July 30, 2007
This happens to be one of the best Wooly Buggers I have ever used. I purchased several in Black and they have just enough color in the thorax that they really attract Trout in the Cumberland River where I do most of my local fly fishing. A Great product.
My son and I started fly fishing last year and when all else failed we tied one of these on and hammered the trout. It is basically the only bait my son will use!
