| This wooly bugger streamer pattern was inspired by Rich Osthoff's book No Hatch To Match: Aggressive Strategies for Fly-Fishing Between Hatches (Stackpole Books, 2001), and is a slight derivation from one of Mr. Osthoff's patterns. The book's title is self-explanatory, and the fly can be used anytime year-long when obvious hatches are not occuring. It is considered a general all-purpose streamer pattern and is very effective with smallmouth bass as well as trout. | ||
