Muddler's are awesome.
They're one of those bugs that when they come off the vice, they always look like they have the juice
The thing is that I dont have the greatest success on them. I put them on the end of the line and wonder if I am making the right choice.
Then I bring it up near me in the water and check it out. The darn thing looks like a fish Snickers laying in the water and I continue on and fish it.
So enjoy Monday's muddler offering. What are you're thoughts on the muddler?
My story is pretty similar. I think the problem is that they tend to be kind of stiff and float beautifully unless they weigh about a pound. Some years ago I started tying them with trimmed soft hackle instead of trimmed deer hair (I seem to be partial to pheasant body feathers but hen hackles work great). The one I dropped in the Spokane on Saturday while trying to tie it on definitely didn't float for long, and it looked beautiful as it swam away on its own.
