5 of 5 Love the look of your original Muddler flies. Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Reviewer: L. Eugene Beam from Lebanon, PA United States  
When I started fly fishing in the early 1970s this is what muddler minnow flies look like and I want the original, I don’t like most of the new muddler minnow flies that are made today.
