looks like a wooley bugger with a bead head. I'm sure it works well.

Very nice fly, I bet it would slay trout in any lake.

wooly bugger? did you see my material list, it moves totally different.

I know it works very well as I had to tie 200 of these up for various people who used them last year.

Very nice. They remind me of an egg-sucking leech.

Its hard to see in the picture but the ribbing on both flys match the color of the bead and so does the flash in the tail.

Sorry, it looks like a wooley bugger no matter how it moves through the water.

I have to disagree as a wooly bugger generally has a stiffer hackle, my leach has angel hair which has way different characteristics and flows way better, also keeps the fly alot slimmer. The flash in angle hair also give the fly the illusion that its moving to. The fly is also tied way different, angle hair is not wrapped like the wooly buggers hackle. But thats just my opinion and its far from being a wooly bugger, if it looked like it then itd be called a woolybugger lol.

wooly bugger
