About the White Muddler Marabou Trout Fly
A snowy silhouette with a deadly intent, the White Muddler Marabou (Tail) is a standout streamer pattern ideal for enticing aggressive takes in both clear and stained water. With its dense deer hair muddler head and flowing marabou tail, this fly offers irresistible lifelike movement, making it a versatile attractor for trout and predatory species alike.
Crafted in brilliant white with subtle flash accents, this pattern mimics a range of prey—from small baitfish and minnows to sculpins—depending on how it's retrieved. The buoyant head allows it to push water and ride higher in the column, making it especially effective in colder months when fish key in on slow, deliberate movements.
