Hey,
I started fly tieing and then fly fishing last winter. I got a "Wooley Wisdom" and tied all manner of wooley worms and buggers. I even gave some relatives flies for Xmass. Problem is, I've never caught a trout on any of these. I've had great success with nymphs, drys, and Zonker type streamers, but not with the buggers. Am I alone? I guess it is possible that I've lost all confidence in these flys and seldom fish them, thus a self fullfilling situation. Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks,Frogge.
