Brian Chou’s Fortune Cookie is a reimagining of the classic Wooly Bugger with some awesome additions. If youve ever fished a Wooly Bugger, youve certainly experienced the short strike a fish will often eat the back section of the fly where theres no hook. Youll feel the bumps, but you wont hook the fish. After experiencing this same frustration, Brian sat down at the vise and came up with his Fortune Cookie fly pattern. Among its many features, this streamer has trailing hook that sits back in the marabou tail of the fly, eliminating the short-strike problem. While it was designed with steelhead in mind, Brian Chou’s Fortune Cookie is a great fly to fish with a single-handed fly rod, just like youd fish a Wooly Bugger. But its also one of our favorites for trout spey fishing.
