Muddler’s and March Brown's are
the main flies in my fliebox when I are fishing larger
sea-trout’s. On hot summer night’s I prefer the Muddler’s with
golden body, otherwise I use the silver-body one’s.

A muddler which is quickly
dragged across the surface is often what you can use to get the
salmon or sea-trout going. Specially for night fishing it is
hard to get a better fly. In a normal summer river I use big
muddler’s in sizes 4 to 1 with a greased intermediate line, in
smaller rivers I use floating lines. It is important to tie the
fly without too much weight!
