A muddler which is quickly dragged across the surface is often what you can use to get the salmon or sea-trout going. Specially for night fishing it is hard to get a better flie. In a normal summer river I use big muddler’s in sizes 4 to 1 with a greased intermediate line, in smaller rivers I use floating lines. It is important to tie the flie without too much weight !
