September Fly of the Month- Muddler Minnow

Muddler Minnow

Ask most anglers this infamous question: “If you could have only one fly to use to catch fish anywhere, anytime and under any conditions, which fly would you choose?” Many will come up with the same answer: the Muddler Minnow. Whether used in warm or cold, fresh or saltwater; no matter if you are out to catch trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, panfish, bonefish and any other species – you name it – the Muddler will catch them all.

This is a pattern that is deadly all over the world for many species of game fish. This gold-bodied version is a favorite in clear water and is the original version. Not as well known as a steelhead fly, it is never-the-less very productive.

Tie up six of any variation, and bring them to the September chapter meeting. There will be two raffles.
