Don Gapen tied the first one in 1936 to imitate the sculpin minnow on Ontario's Nipigon River, and nearly a century later it's still on nearly every serious streamer angler's short list. Deer hair head that pushes water and rides high or low depending on how you fish it, mottled turkey wing that reads as a sculpin or dace or fry — it works because it looks like all of them at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFish it dead-drift as a hopper, swing it wet across current for trout, or strip it fast as a streamer. Dropped off a bigger fly it becomes a stunned baitfish. Salt-tied variants have taken redfish and specks — this is not just a trout fly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook:\u003c\/strong\u003e Daiichi 1710 (2XL streamer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e #4, #6, #8, #10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spun and clipped natural deer hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mottled turkey quill with grey squirrel underwing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold flat tinsel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTied by:\u003c\/strong\u003e FINATICS Fly Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFishes well for: Brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, redfish, speckled trout, and any predator that eats sculpin, dace, or small baitfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound out the streamer box.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fish this with the rest of the FINATICS classic streamer collection:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/muddler-minnow-black-flash\"\u003eBlack Muddler Minnow with Flash\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/gray-ghost\"\u003eGray Ghost (Carrie Stevens)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/mickey-finn-fire-tiger\"\u003eMickey Finn Fire Tiger\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/zonked-out-brass\"\u003eZonked Out Brass Conehead\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/zonked-out-tungsten\"\u003eZonked Out Tungsten Conehead (5 colors)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/short-strike-yellow\"\u003eShort Strike Yellow Articulated\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/high-voltage-yellow\"\u003eHigh Voltage Yellow (feather wing)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/trouble-maker-brass-sunburst\"\u003eTrouble Maker Brass Sunburst\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Finatics Fly Company","offers":[{"title":"#4","offer_id":50640665608429,"sku":"MUDDLER-ORIG-4","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#6","offer_id":50640669409517,"sku":"MUDDLER-ORIG-6","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#8","offer_id":50640669442285,"sku":"MUDDLER-ORIG-8","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"#10","offer_id":50640669475053,"sku":"MUDDLER-ORIG-10","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6029\/3613\/files\/Muddler-Minnow-Original-2.jpg?v=1788654182","url":"https:\/\/finaticsflyco.com\/products\/muddler-minnow","provider":"Finatics Fly Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
