Mini Muddler
Summer fry-bash specialist
PerchSurface
Deer-hair head that wakes and pushes water — perch hear the disturbance before they see the fly. Brown, black and olive cover the situations. Size down rather than up if takes are tentative.
Fish this when
Summer fry-bashing in shallow weedy margins, harbour corners and reservoir edges. Floating line, sharp strips and pauses across the surface — explosive takes.
