[Paul Arden]

Tie your best Muddler, post a photo here in this thread and next weekend I'll choose a winner and he, she or it will win a bottle of SHOOT!

I'm judging.

Good luck,
Paul

Weird that you chose a muddler, Paul... recently bought a 8' six weight for fishing streamers in 2014 so tied some simple bucktails, hairwings and this muddler today:

As a modest contribution of a dry-fly fisherman ...

... will try in natural light tomorrow. Keen as Mustad

[Paul Arden]

Hmmm. That's very nice Magnus, but it's not barbless. Sorry.



Franz, erm, is it meant for Mardi Gras?

[Marc Fauvet]

an 'experimental' muddlerish thing.

[Paul Arden]

Very nice Marc, but what the judges may be thinking is a wake fly. Not a brick.

there's helium filled air balloons hidden behind the flashy deerish' hairs. it stays above the water and the fish have to jump out to catch it. this is advanced shit !
