Muddlers, another attempt!

[garyj]

Having seen Andrew's cracking muddlers, I just had to have another go

Any better?





Quite a few materials here, 2 fritz/chenille body wraps, yellow grizzle palmer, red & yellow pheasant, yellow/red marabou with crystal flash and red/yellowish deer hair.
Tied on a 175 #8

Nice work Gary,

Looks great!
A pattern like that will always get results whipped through just under the surface on bright, sunny days.

They'll certainly get a few swims on Leven next season Steve!

I'm with Steve there, but one other way (I've had success with late/low water Steelhead) is to fish those off a short sink tip (or sinking poly leader) with just a couple of feet of leader. 'Tip' pulls it down, the short leader lets the fly ride up a few inches off the bottom.

"Deadly" fly/system for fishing tail-outs and shallow riffle water.
