A Muddler Minnow Nears Completion

This Muddler Minnow is nearly completed. I'll whip finish the head and apply a drop of glue to secure the ties. The final step is to trim it to the desired shape. These last few days have gotten my blood up for going fishing. When I looked over my stuff I found my collection of Muddler Minnows were battered and in sorry shape. I'm also anxious to replenish some of the Wulff Hair Flies I've come to love, as well as, some Adams'. I haven't worked on Muddler Minnows since I did with Wendell Niemann. He was the one who taught me how to tie it. I miss fishing with him.
