The Murray's Madtom is a fly I started fishing many years ago and have very much enjoyed fishing (and tying) the Madtom in my warmwater streams. This fly is very productive in both Black and in an Olive color.
There are two versions of this tying video as it takes awhile to add the dubbing for the body and the final trimming of the body. Therefore, there is a long version where all the steps are included and a shorter version that skips much of the repeated steps. This is the SHORT version. --Enjoy
