Mykiss Muddler tied by RioEveryone who swings flies for steelhead needs muddlers in their boxes. RIO’s Mykiss Muddler is a beautiful version you will want to add to your collection. It will also be the one you reach for first on your next outing. The flat head causes this muddler to dive into fishing position quickly. This fly’s happy place is being swung on a floating line just slightly below the surface. Tied on a #5 Black Alec Jackson Steelhead Iron.

Fall Muddler custom tie by Grabflies. A very good summer/fall Steelhead Muddler Minnow pattern. Design for rivers like the Klickitat and Deschutes... This muddler is tied on a shank with a trailing #2 Owner hook. Trailing hooks are much better for tail nipping takes and help barbless hook stay hooked much better, plus do much less damage to wild fish for releasing. Tied with a rabbit wing. Fly is 1.5 to 2 inches longer. Fishes very high in the water column on a dryline. This muddler has lots of action. Works great summer into fall for Steelhead.

I've been tying different versions of this Muddler Moal Leech fly over the years. Now I'm happy with this new pattern. It has a hidden nickel bead to help sink it enough so it swims with movement, but can be swung over snaggy terrain. Fly is 2 - 2.25 inches long (small for a moal leech - summer size). Tied on braid line with #2 SSW Owner hook. Tied with PVC hook holder with Flashabou for tail, Crosscut Rabbit Fur, Micro Barred Voodoo Fibers, Black Deer Belly Hair, Shank, and braid line. Photo: (Olive is more Olive color than shown in photo) This silhouette with the large spun deer belly hair head gives it a sculpin minnow look.

Muddler, Size 4
The Muddler Minnow is one of the most popular fly patterns in the world.
When swinging the Muddler the fly moves in and out of the surface film, enticing Steelhead to the strike.
Muddlers are also fished subsurface with sinking tip lines. Muddlers because of their deer hair trap lots of shimmering bubbles of air that fish love. Tied by Aqua Flies.

A variation of the Muddler Minnow using bunny as the body and a metal cone head in front of the trimmed deer hair. This is a great pattern for the searching of large meat eaters. Size 6 hook

A modified design of the Silver Hilton. Tied on a 2051 Alec Jackson Black Spey Hook, Size 3 with enough head room to tie a Riffle Hitch for Skating.
You can fish this fly wet or near the surface - waking in and out of the surface film, or on top. The head is black spun deer belly hair, but not too much that it can't be fished wet. Just the right about to do both surface or sub surface. Two color patterns - select below.
