Rio Flies King Squirrely Muddler Trout Spey Streamer
This Rio Flies King Squirrely Muddler pattern is a downsized version of the popular saltwater Kinky Muddler, and has claimed countless large trout – browns, rainbows, cutties, and brookies measured in pounds, not inches. Its rounded Kinky Muddler head, bulging eyes, and wide collar create a little vortex that animates the squirrel zonker body into a kicking, wiggling motion. Because it is so mobile and looks so much like a little fish, it works its magic whether stripped, swung or even dead drifted, and it’s a devastating trout spey fly as well. -Johnny King

Owen Davies –
Fished it on a cold morning with a trout stream. The fly moved naturally and attracted a large brown that took it on the first cast. Great action when dead drifted. Would buy again.
Leonard Davies –
Used it in a remote stretch of the river. The wiggling motion really stood out. Caught a rainbow on a swing cast. Works well even in slow currents.
Michael Brown –
Solid pattern. The design looks realistic and it kicks well when stripped. A bit more expensive than other muddlers, but effective for larger trout.
Frank Sutherland –
Perfect for spey fishing. The fly stays in motion and draws fish in even when the water is still. Caught a brookie on a dead drift after a long search.
Tracey Dowd –
Works well in both fast and slow sections. The body movement is lifelike. A bit heavy for small streams, but overall a reliable pattern.
