Purple-Chenille Wooley Bugger... And Bass.

Been testing out another pattern to stay in the running with the June's One Fishing Fly Challenge.  This month's challenge is any fishing fly with the color purple in the pattern.

Tried an unweighted Purple Wooley Bugger and caught a 14" Bass earlier this week.  Next, tried an unweighted Purple-Chenille Wooley Bugger; caught a few Sunfish and had a strike from a decent Bass but did not land him.

Today, tried a weighted Purple-Chenille Wooley Bugger and caught a 12" Bass and had a possible Bruiser strike the fishing fly... but no hookset.  Will make adjustments and see if the pattern becomes a producer like the Grasshopper last month.
