This is a spin off of a wooly bugger, as are most streamers. The marabou tail functions the same as on a wooly bugger creating a flowing pulsing action in the water. The body on the Moto Minnow is obviously different. The speckled/ barred partridge gives depth and movement to the fly. This is helped by the hackle collar to produce an undulating action wile stripping the fly. Some say this represents swimming, some say it looks like the fins of a baitfish moving, I don’t know which it is but I know it works!
Use this fly when you want to use a streamer, usually when no hatches are happening. I use these in the fall when the trout are not actively eating anything that I can see, but they are always on the lookout for baitfish. Fish will want to ambush this fly, it will be most productive next to structure. Keep it near rocks, ledges, and logs to entice big fish to eat. Strip it with quick pops and long pauses. Fish will take this fly on the pause.
No hatch chart data available for this selection.
