Rolled Muddler Minnow The Rolled Muddler was originally developed as a stickleback imitation for sea-run cutthroat.  It has quickly turned into one of B.C.’s most popular silver-bodied flies for cutties.  This fly can be dressed in any size from a size 12 down to a 2.  Coho, Steelhead and even Chinook have been known to take this fly.  For salmon try different wing and deer colour combos, and for cutthroat natural silver seems the best.  Have some of these in your fly box at all times, they’ve been known to save a fishless day!     Tying Materials; Hook: Size 6-10, Mustad 9671 or 9672 Thread: Red Tail: Mallard Flank Body: Flat Silver,Gold or Pearlescent Mylar Rib: Fine silver or Gold wire Wing: Mallard Flank, 4 strands Pearl Krystal Flash, sparse deer hair Head: Spun and clipped deer hair
