John Gillio Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I found the Murdich Minnow to be very effective on still water crappie also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan S Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Great tie. I love Murdich minnows. Awesome action and easy to cast. Do you fish it on a floating or a sinking line? Whats your leader set up? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you fish it on a floating or a sinking line? Whats your leader set up? Thanks! hey Ryan. I only ever fish a floating line (solely based on laziness). I know I should try sink tips so maybe that’s a goal for 2023. leaders: again I’m pretty lazy so 2-3 feet of 30 lb mono to 25 lb to 20 lb (whole butt section is maybe 6 ft). then to a small swivel, and then 8 lb mono “tippet” after that. maybe 2 or so feet? including a recent murdich I tied after buying some ice fur and estaz as per the recipe.

Thanks! I always enjoy hearing the different leader set ups that people are using. One of my goals this year is to fish a sinking line more often. Most likely looking at an intermediate for weightless streamers like yours above in the the rivers while wading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Durham Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Murdich minnow rock and are one of my favorite smallmouth flies, but they are expensive. Urbs, could you teach us how to tie these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
