Muddlers "Anytime"

[Fishtales]

Fair point but I would only use a "proper" Muddler so would not apply to me.

..........and I don't use Muddlers so does't apply to me either I can see these having there uses though for those that don't want to tye up various styles of Muddler by just using the flies they already have.

The original concept from Billy was simply that he had them in his box and if the wind and wave got up he could easily "upgrade" any fly either into a muddler or into a larger muddler and whatever he was using could continue in use on the top dropper.

You have to cut the fly off to thread the muddler head on and then re tie the fly.

I have to agree that would be  much more  fiddly than just tying on a proper  muddler.

While I get the point about 'upgrading' a successful fly to the muddler variant, does one really need anything other than a Kate muddler?   :

Andy, as long as the fish aren't sick of the sight of Kate muddlers by then!  See you in August.  D.
