My Mayhem Minnow is a killer jigged streamer that has had great success in the Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming regions. The goal of this fly was to be heavy enough to not necessarily need to use a sink tip line, but still light enough to fish on your 5-6 weight fly rod. The Streamer Straggle core and rubber legs add some attractive flash and movement to this fly, while the Bruiser blend, rabbit zonker, and marabou build a great "minnow-esque" taper. The featured color combo is supposed to give "baby rainbow" vibes, but this is an easy one to mix up the colors. Brown and yellow, black and purple, chartreuse and white, the possibilities are ENDLESS!
