Fly Tying a Hares ear muddler with Barry Ord Clarke

One of my favourite patterns for when the fish won't have anything bright and prefer something more buggy and natural looking.

Nice version Barry! Deer hair is such a messy business, but I will probably be doing something like this sooner or later. Thank you!

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Kerry, its a great fly and not that difficult, give it a go!

[@davidwilson4730]

I would fish this for many species with confidence. I agree with the head shape and proportions

Thanks Ryan.

[@dodgeydave21]

A little work of art. Outstanding! Well done 👏

[@Thefeatherbender]

Why thank you double D.

[@hugopoirier7746]

Muddler minnow is my go to, It's a pattern that I have been practicing for several years and I have not yet reached the top of the learning curve. Practice practice practice practice, very nice variation again Sir. With the Stonfo rasor blade is so great to finish the head. I hope to find GSP in my part of the country, otherwise I'll have to go online. Dyneema (polyethylene braided yarn) cannot be found in my local shop. Thanks again sir and have a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Hugo thanks. Dyneema is not braided but is the original GSP (Gel Spun Polyethylene) The other threads on the market are not allowed to use the name Dyneema so they go for GSP. As far as I am concerned no other GSP can match Dyneema. Happy new year.

[@duderoony]

Wow! That is one amazing bug! Me, with my present skills, not a chance! lol. Maybe one day. Thank you for another one Barry. And a Happy New Year to you mate.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Dude, you can do this...

[@johnshand6176]

That's a great natural looking fly which I will endeavor to perfect. Thanks for another great year at the vise. Wishing you a happy new year from down-under in NZ.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks John and the same to you!

[@mloaizasaez]

👏👏👏 . I think it can be used as dry fly, terrestrial, streamer etc 🤔 Great fly, thank you 🇨🇱

[@Thefeatherbender]

Gracias Miguel.

[@mikewalters4994]

Great Job !! Looks good, I have not tyied a muddler yet, but I'm gonna give it a try today. It looks like a Bass will hit one.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Mike, thanks. Yes a muddler will catch just about anything that swims! Let me know how you get on.

[@user-tp8er9ut3p]

Да мухи просто бомба, спасибо.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@kurzhaarguy]

Very nice. Is this an original? I haven't seen it previously. Where did you get the razor holder? Looks really handy.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi K, yes its a pattern I have used for many years. The blade holder is from STONFO.

[@cponting1]

Really like this pattern Barry. Not seen the hair cutter that you used. Who sells them? Many thanks.

Hi Chris, thanks the blade holder is from STONFO.

[@eddieirvine9252]

Great fly yet again but I can't believe you cut the wire ribbing with the point of your scissors 🤔

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thanks Eddie, I have soooooooo many scissors and try to keep things simple.

[@peterdoiron6435]

Where did you purchase the tool to hold your razor blade for trimming?

[@peterdoiron6435]

[@Thefeatherbender]

Its made by STONFO in Italy.

[@user-sr8gh1me8x]

Великолепно 👍🤝

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.

[@PALLI12345]

Could you put a fly called ”Soldier palmer” on your tying list?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Hi Elias, yes I know the Soldier Palmer it will go on my list.

[@user-tp8er9ut3p]

А можно мех оленя заменить чем нибудь другим?

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you.
