Re: [VFB] Favorite Atlantic Salmon Patterns

[Gary and Diane Smith]

Guess it depends on where and what you target.  I have always thought of the wolly bugger as a small mouth pattern.  But then again I do not often fish for the PA fish commissions rubber fish.  I was thinking more along the lines of effective patterns rather than the traditional patterns.

  GARY,   I fully understand, but when I want to tye a selection of a dozen Steelhead patterns to give as a Gift; I always tye the Classic Wetfly types that were designed for Steelhead.. even thought I do have Great results with a Black & Peacock Wooly bugger on Steelies- I never include them...since they are first & foremost known as a Trout Pattern... Just thought you might be leaning the same way....     DEAN....
