The Rolled Muddler takes the classic Muddler Minnow and puts it on a diet for the coastal estuaries where sea-run cutthroat hunt. The deer hair head is trimmed tight for castability in wind, and the sparse wing creates a slim profile that imitates the baitfish and sculpins that sea-runs pursue in tidal water. Fishing for sea-run cutthroat is the Pacific Northwest's best-kept secret -- these chrome-bright trout that have been to the ocean and back eat streamers with a violence that belies their modest size, and the Rolled Muddler is the fly they see most often in their nightmares.
