What kind of fly is this?
« on: 02/09/14 17:02 UTC »
I was looking through my fly box today and I found 2 of these. I want to tie a couple more but I don't know what it is called to see what all is in the fly. Do any of you know what kind of fly this is?

I believe that is called a Marabou Muddler but I may be wrong.

Muddler.  I am not sure if that's marabou though.  Looks a little stiff for marabou.  Either way, it is a good looking fly.  I can't fish them, as they are too pretty to just hang in trees.

It looks like a Marabou Muddler ..but maybe they just cut the marabou tips with scissors. The white could be Ostrich herl...but it is normally a lot stiffer with much stiffer fibers coming off the stem.

Yup, a deer hair muddler... I have 8 & 10 weight fly rods that I use to throw such things at the Mississippi River Browns.

Exactly what I was thinking. It definitely looks like tip cut marabou.
