The Mickey Finn is a classic trout fly pattern in the category of bucktail streamers. It is a basic streamer tie with three layers of bucktail for the wing. It is a wonderful fly to start tying classic style streamer flies and even better to have in your fly box. The Mickey Finn works great on trout and just as well on large and smallmouth bass!
