- Underwater action and tying SBS. on the fabulous Dan Bailey's White Marabou Muddler. A streamer designed for large trout in western rivers, but equally at home anywhere trout live.
On this video I am trying something new, and talk while tying instead of having music only. Drop a comment, and let me know what you think about that. Thanks Michael :0)

Hi there friends and followers,
On this video I am trying something new, and talk while tying... instead of having music only. Drop a comment below, and let me know what you think about that. Do you find the speak useful... or should i just shut up an tie ;0)
Thanks Michael :0)
Great fly. Your talking helped alot
Thanks a lot for your feedback Colin. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Nice pattern thank you .
Hey Michael. I like your step-by-step narrative. You still move through the tie efficiently and your instruction doesn't drone on forever like some. Short and to the point ties are what I like, and I didn't feel that you over did it at all by adding the voice to the video. Keep up the great content.
Thanks buddy. Your response is appreciated. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Well I had this fly when I was younger in Alaska. I tried the fly at the confluence of the Kenai River with Skilak Lake - it was winter and I had no success - but I was so darn hopeful. Now I'd still like to try it. And to tie it would bring me pleasure. : )
Great story. Give a shot. This time it will work ;0) Cheers, Michael :0)
In 2023, this fly accounted for more trout than any other fly in my box…almost twofold. I don’t know what it was about 2023 but the brookies, bows and browns were *all* just obliterating this fly. It got so intense, I started to devise little ways to tie them as durably as possible…a bit of thin CA at the marabou tie in, some medium viscosity UV dripped into the head behind the hook eye. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if you’d told me that a single marabou mini muddler in my box accounted for over a hundred trout. It’s a great pattern but for my brother and I, it was just *remarkable* in 2023 for whatever reason.
Thank you for your feedback. Sounds like you guys have had some fantastic fishing. Hope the new season will be great as well- Cheers, Michael .0)
Great tying videos and yes the narrative is always a good thing. You tie beautiful fly patterns! Thanks for your instructions! :)
And thanks a lot for your feedback. Tight lines, Michael :0)
I was introduced to this fly back around 1965. I don't know how many Large Mouth Bass and trout I caught on them over the years. It's a great pattern and not just white, yellow, and black.
Hi George, Thanks a lot for your feedback. Great to hear that this fly works great for bass as well. Around here I mostly use it for trout. I've tried the yellow version as well. Might have to try the black as well. Tight lines, Michael :0)
I think the talking helped. I watch fly tying videos to be able to tie them myself and the verbal tips help me out a ton! Thanks for the video and keep them coming!
Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated. Tight lines, Michael :0)
I use red thread underbody with a pearl crystal chenille with slightly open wraps . This leaves the red slightly visible. . Although a variant of this pattern I find it works well for brook trout in New England.
Hi William. Sounds like a cool variation. Cheers, Michael 🙂
Hi Michael, Great Clip and format. Love your choice for the streamer classics. I've put down the big articulated stuff over our summer (now) and gone back to fishing some classic streamers in our rivers and lakes. FY-I Spirit River (Hareline) also do the tinsel chenille carded. Hello from New Zealand. Love your channel!
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Great to hear that you are into classic streamers as well. I like tying and fishing new articulated stuff - but i freaking love fishing the classics. Thanks for the info regarding the tinsel chenille - think I will add that to the description. Tight lines, Michael :0)
Hi Michael, it's been awhile :o) good to see AND hear you. I think the narration is helpful, especially when something is out of frame like cutting the tip off the marabou. But you two do such an excellent job of filming a step by step that I can figure out whats going on. If I can't I just ask and you always respond. That's a beautiful Muddler you tied. I know what you mean about not packing too tight, I had one suspend a #7 split shot once, lol, it just wouldn't sink!
Too bad about the chenille, you should try a craft or sewing shop. I've found some great chenille, both sparkle and plain that were awesome.
So you can tie and talk all you want, your comment reminded me of "shut up and play your guitar", that was Zappa right?.... Take care buddy and thanks :o)
Hi Joe, great to hear from you as well, my friend. Thanks a lot for your always constructive feedback. LOL You sure have packed that muddler to hard. Great though if it's for surface work. Muddlers can be effective during hopper time late in the summer. But horses for causes ;0) Yep that was a Zappa reference. I knew you would pick that up. Cheers buddy :0)
An awesome pattern, arguably better than the original.
Thanks. :0)
Can you advise on the types of flylines to use with this fly on the river when the river is at different levels and flows ? Great video as always.
Thanks buddy. The choice of fly lines really depends a lot on local conditions - especially current. I prefer full sinking lines for most river work with muddlers, and keep an assortment of lines from intermediate to super fast sinking. Mostly they are WF of some kind. By letting the line swing and sink a while before you start stripping - you can get deep down... even with a slow sinker :0)
Another question Michael. Do you think this fly would be suitable for swinging downstream on a skagit and sinktip setup . The spot i want to try has trees on both banks and wading isnt an option but i can use a skagit off the bank with a spey or switch rod ?
I think it will work fine. I usually fish this streamer on a sinktip - or a full sinking head. Cheers, Michael :0)
Thanks again Michael
Great video .Is this good for brown trout ?
Cheers just tied up 3 white and 3 yellow keep up the great work
Thanks buddy. The Marabou Muddler was designed for large browns in Montana streams, and it works fabulous for just that in my neck of the woods as well. Tight lines, Michael :0)
