Woolly Bugger with a Cone Head

The woolly bugger slips through the water like a living thing, pulsing and wiggling just enough to look alive. Fish can’t help it because it imitates so many meals at once—minnows, leeches, and even big insects—triggering pure instinct. When nothing else works, the woolly bugger still gets eaten because it looks easy, familiar, and worth chasing.
