The Mickey Blue Muddler is a salmon fly pattern that blends the classic muddler style with bold blue accents. Like other muddler-style streamers, it usually features a spun and clipped deer hair head, which creates buoyancy and turbulence in the water, giving the fly a lively, pulsing action.

Fishing Use

• Designed for Atlantic salmon, but also effective for steelhead and sea trout.

• Fished as a wet fly or streamer — swung across currents, waked near the surface, or stripped in faster water.

• The bright blue color stands out well in clear or slightly tinted water, making it a good choice in bright conditions or when salmon are aggressive.

It’s a regional favorite in some Canadian salmon rivers, where blue has long been considered a productive color for salmon.
