Gungasuncle. I noticed you said the wolly bugger was one of the three flies to have in your case. But you also threw in the other two that are really a completely different fly. wolly buggers are good for lake fishing, but in my opinion they would be the last fly I would want to have in my box. A prince nymph would be a good addition to those other two flies.
so what i do is a nail knot to tie my leader to the line. then my leader to tippet is a blood knot, and then you use an improved clinch knot to tie the fly on. You can youtube these knots and there are a bunch of other knots you can use as well. Congrats on becoming new to fly fishing, you will have a great time. It's the only way to fish! Do you have a rod and reel? If not whats your budget?
Buggers catch fish in all types of water, streams or lakes. My largest river trouts fell to a #8 olive bead head woolly bugger. I'll take a woolly over a prince any day. Then again, I like the old school Zug Bug more than the prince usually also.To each his own.
Bernduffy ya WB's are great lake flies. Yohan I forgot to mention I have a loop to loop on my rod and it works amazing. I never did it like that before but the fly shop put some line on my new reel and the loop to loop that they put on is still in use. The san juan worm works everywhere! I used it in Montana on the Ruby and Madison when the fish weren't biting, and I started hookin fish.
instructors are a waste of money i think. i just tagged along with bigsteel and asked a lot of questions and i picked up on it pretty fast.
