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!
