About the Mandy's Dark Muskie Freshwater Fly
Mandy's Dark Muskie is, as the name suggests a pattern tied for muskies, the American version of the English and European pike.
It is a variant of the original that was tied and created by Brian Thielicke. It has a triple rabbit strip wing, is very mobile and is full of pulsating action when retrieved, all very tempting for predatory muskie or pike.
Expert Tip:
You need to set the hooks home, so if you are fishing deep, wind down on the fish and strike twice firmly.
