Blake Manning –
This muddler performs well in both swing and dredge presentations. The hook strength is solid and the pattern mimics natural movement. I’ve used it on clear water streams and caught several steelhead. A great addition to my fly box.
Joanne Henderson –
The design is unique and effective. It works well in slow currents. I tied it myself and found the hook placement to be secure. Not as flashy as some patterns, but it produces real results.
Karen Slater –
Used this fly during a late spring trip in the Willamette Valley. Caught a good-sized steelhead with it. The pattern holds up well in moving water and doesn’t break easily.
