Muddler

This is an old contest!
It was held many years ago.
This is here for historical reasons.

Revived Apr 20. 2025

Any muddler pattern will do. We want flies with spun deer hair heads.

Muddlers are patterns with spun deer hair heads, known from and inspired by the traditional Muddler Minnow pattern originally devised by Don Gapen. Any pattern is accepted as long as it leans towards this tradtion. There are no limits to colors, sizes or target species. Spun deer hair bass bugs will not be accepted as entries in this category.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
