So, I won this woolly wisdom book on ebay ($15.00 +
free shipping).
Woolly buggers have been very good to me so I tought
that I may look at those little guys a little closer.
Book should be at my house in few days.
Anyone has this book? Any opinions? Please.

between you, DR and FG ebay must be doing well.. LOL..
looks like a good deal.. Ive never read it so I curious what people say about it..
MacFly 
Well on amazon.com people seem to love that book. I was just wondering what YOU guys think of it.
Peter
me too… Im sure at least one of the regulars has a copy
MacFly
With tying instructions for over 400 patterns, how could you go wrong.
do you have a copy of that book??
*No I don’t. I can’t count that high. lol.

I cant either… I used to think I could then I got in trouble for taking my shoes and socks off at work.. 
wonder if FG has a copy and if so what she thinks.. or maybe SF… we will see..
but I am really curious to hear what peter thinks about it once he gets it in and has a chance to look thru it..
MacFly
I don’t have a copy. Woollys always seemed easy enough to me and I am sure there is over 400 variations of them.
Never been a big Bugger fan, but after this last trip…
You guys realize Denny Rickards seal bugger is a woolly bugger. Dubbing loop as the chenille.
I wonder if his version of the bugger is in that book??
If that book seems worth it I may ask Santa wife to get me a copy for Christmas
MacFly
Doubt it, Rickards has his own book and doesn’t share.
lol.. that figures..
MacFly
I will report after I look throu the book. Woolly bugger
and woolly worm is my # fly so this book is made for
me
I caught many things on wooly bugger- Trout, bass,panfish, frog, turtle…and many others.
WB is going to be my first fly I like to try to ty.
Peter
I think I am going to need to take a look at this book. I love the buggers.
now that is a good sized frog.. how did the legs taste???
the WB and WW are two very easy flies to tie.. Scruffy Fly took me step by step on them and I was amazed at how simple they are … two years ago when I was on vacation with family in TN I tied up some wooly worms and I caught the biggest fish of the trip on that fly.. the feeling of catching a fish on a fly you tied is amazing.. :-)…
MacFly
I cant wait to start learing tying fies. After I come back
from Sierras I will get some simple starter wise and
stuff and geve it a go.
I love learning new things and fly fishing is never
ending so thats one of the things I love about FF.
Peter
by this time next year when you go back to the Sierras Im betting you will have boxes of flies you tied to use…
MacFly
One of the benefits of tying is that I don’t get upset any more when I lose a fly. The cost is less than two bits compared to that of store bought bugs of at least a buck or more.
true.. plus there is the relaxation of working on a fly and having to concentrate on that helps me to block out all the other cares of the world.. :-).. but that is just me..

That is the plan my friend [;)]
