Mickey Finn

HOOK: TMC 300, sizes 4-10

THREAD: Black

RIB: Oval silver tinsel

BODY: Flat silver tinsel

WING: In order, from top to bottom (or bottom to top): yellow, red, then yellow dyed bucktail

Uses

An old streamer pattern, the Mickey Finn is still in use. It might resemble some baitfish, or maybe it's just something fish like to stick in their mouth.

How to Fish

In lakes and slower portions of rivers, use the count-down-and-retrieve or slow retrieve presentation. In faster currents, use a wet-fly swing.
