Muzz Wilson’s Smelt Grey BMS
One of the great flies by master tier Murray Wilson. Muzz developed a unique tying technique that created translucency in flies with his fuzzling and teased out dubbing flies, the result was deadly baitfish patterns that fish eat. The BMS (Bullen Merri Special) is regarded as one of Muzz’s best creations.

Samantha Harris –
Fished in a quiet lake and caught several small bass with the BMS. The translucency made it look like a real smelt, and fish were quick to take it. A solid choice for baitfish patterns.
Ella Miller –
Used the BMS in early spring and saw good results in a slow-moving stream. The fly moved naturally and attracted fish that otherwise ignored other patterns.
Sally Underwood –
This is one of the most authentic-looking flies I’ve used. The fuzzling gives it a soft, lifelike appearance that fish respond to. Highly recommended for anglers targeting baitfish.
