These look good. I stopped trying to tie these years ago. I kept creating amputees when trimming the deer hair.......Thought I’d roll up a few muddlers in hopes of some upriver SRC love. View attachment 40918
I always love these types of flies. Simple, been around forever, and just plain work. Every time I tie one I think about why I even bother tying anything more complicated (answer: cause it’s fun to).
Starling & Herl
Soft Hackle
Hook - Wet fly style
Thread - Black
Ribbing - Tag end of tying thread
Body - Peacock herl
Hackle - Starling feather
Coat the hook shank with crazy glue prior to wrapping the peacock herl forward.
Reverse wrap with the tying thread tag end.
Fine gold wire may also be used as ribbing.
Had to replenish my ultra complex trout box...
