Yellow Marabou Muddler

 
This month’s fly is the Yellow Marabou Muddler.  The marabou muddler is a spin-off of the muddler minnow created by Don Gapen of Minnesota in the 1930s.  It is a very good attractor pattern.  Yellow is my favorite color to use and is very good at drawing out the biggest fish in the pool.
