Murray’s Mr. Rapidan Streamer
The Mr. Rapidan Streamer is a legendary fly designed to turn cautious trout and bass into confident takers. Developed by Harry Murray, this streamer delivers unmatched versatility—whether you're fishing mountain streams, spring creeks, rivers or big-water tailwaters.
Built to imitate a variety of baitfish and aquatic forage, its natural movement and lifelike profile provoke aggressive strikes from trout, bass and panfish alike. The soft yet durable construction ensures realistic motion through the current while maintaining strength for repeated hook-ups.
Key Features
-
Realistic baitfish profile that triggers instinctive predatory strikes from both bass and trout
-
Effective on trout, bass, and panfish
-
Perfect for swinging down and across, stripping, or tight-line dead drifting techniques
The Mr. Rapidan Streamer shines when finicky fish demand a natural presentation. Whether you're targeting rainbow trout in fast riffles, big browns hugging deep undercut banks or smallmouth bass hunting minnows and juvenile sunfish on the gravel bars, this fly consistently produces results. It's a staple in our fly box year round.
Where and When
-
Stream & river fishing
-
Clear or lightly stained water
-
Targeting feeding or pressured fish
-
Low water, spooky fish
These streamers are great searching flies to use for bass in sizes 6 and 8 and for trout in size 10 when you do not see feeding fish. Fish these with a slow swimming action in the deep pockets below the riffles, over gravel bars late in low light and along the shaded banks.
Size: 6, 8, 10
