Mini Woolly Bugger

[Jdecoudres]

What hooks are you guys using to tie the small woolly buggers.

TMC 5262 all they way down to size 14. And a size 14 woolybugger is a small little fly. No sense tying them any smaller.

thank you

I might add that for smallmouth flies, I tie my buggers on streamer hooks. TMC 300 size 12 to size 2 and TMC 9395 Size 10 to size 4. The only real difference between these two hooks are the eyes. TMC 300's have straight eyes while the TMC 9395's have down eyes.

I have been doing some smallmouth fishing with a fly rod this year with all the high water on the trout streams. What color woolybugger do you like for the smallies? Ive tied some crazy craws with sililegs in tan and olive and used some clousers left over from white bass fishing in olive / white and chart / white. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

Can't go wrong with black or olive.

Brown woolies have worked well for me. Brown and olive are my two main colors for smallies.
