Muddler Minnow – Traditional
- Muddler Minnow – Traditional, $60USD, watercolor, 12×9″, 2021
  copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger
  https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1179320
The Muddler Minnow was first tied in 1936 by a guy from Minnisota, Don Gapen by name. It imitates a sculpin and is of the ‘streamer’ body type. It’s a very popular pattern, tied by many with a lot of variations. The one shown here is basic and traditional. My husband says the nose cone should be longer, but I prefer the look of this model.

Minnow Bugger – Wet Fly
- Minnow Bugger – Wet Fly, $50 USD, watercolor, 9×12″, 2020
  copyrighted with all rights reserved
  https://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/1115296
The Minnow Bugger is large as trout files go with its hook measuring about an inch. Some flies are minuscule. This pattern simulates a minnow thus is necessarily larger than the ones that represent gnats and bugs. It travels below the surface of the water making it a “wet fly”.

The Carey Special is a common trout fly with a lot of variations. It’s a wet fly which means it travels under the surface of the water rather on to of it. Look at my series of Trout Fly Paintings at the link above. They all show well individually or as a grouping.

Brook Trout – Salvelinus fontinalis
Brook Trout – Salvelinus fontinalis, watercolor on paper, 12×9″, 2018, by Jean Krueger, copyrighted with all rights reserved

Brook Trout or Brookies or Salvelinus fontinalis are the ubiquitous American fish. They are native to this continent and thrive where water is cold and fast or cold and deep. They’re a favorite fish for the US Forest Service to plant as they have great sport fishing value, not too hard to catch. This guy painted here is full scale about 7-8 inches and is shown at full scale.

Clouser Minnow – Wet Fly
Clouser Minnow, watercolor, 9×12″, by Jean Krueger, copyrighted with all rights reserved, 2018

This fly, designed by Bob Clouser, is used for any fish that’ll eat a minnow, that is bass, trout, pike and their ilk. It’s made from two colors of deer hair combined with sparkly streamers. It’s inverted, that is it is weighted by its bead eyes so that the hook is up. As a result it is less apt to get entangled in weeds as it is retrieved. Those who fly fish find it very effective in attracting fish.
