An olive woolly bugger is my early season go to fly. Either dead drift or swinging.

I don't fish them often, even though I love tying them, but olive is my go to color and I have the most success with them.

If I think buggers are the ticket I choose them as follows:

1. What's in my box;
2. Olive;
3. Brown or black (same difference);
4. White;
5. Caddis.

Black and Olive Beadhead Flash Buggers.

Black seems to work the best for me but other colors are effective also. I carry black,brown,olive and black,olive,white and purple. I usually tie them with a conehead and crystal flash tied into the tail.

Olive body with black bou and hackle. Add a bead too!

I fish olive most of the time. I tie almost all of my buggers with rabbit strip tails instead of marabou. This probably isn't technically a true wooly bugger anymore but it is a variation that I find to be very effective. I just like the action of the bunny strips a bit more than the marabou.
