Gapen Original Muddler Beaded Nymph - Bead Head Muddler Minnow
The Gapen Original Muddler Beaded Nymph takes the legendary Muddler Minnow profile and builds it as a bead-head nymph. The bead gets the fly down quickly, while the Muddler shape gives trout and smallmouth a sculpin or baitfish target subsurface.
Dead-drift it through riffles and seams, swing it along rocky bottoms, or fish it under an indicator. It works as a nymph, a swing fly, or a small streamer-nymph hybrid.
