The Murray’s Sunfish Slider is a proven topwater fly designed to imitate a juvenile sunfish — one of the most irresistible big-fish meals in warm-water systems. With its buoyant slider head, natural profile, and subtle yet deadly surface action, this pattern draws explosive strikes from largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, and other aggressive predators. It skitters, wakes, dives and pushes just enough water to trigger ambush responses without spooking wary fish.
Crafted for durability and performance, Murray’s Sunfish Slider excels in ponds, lakes, and slow rivers around grass lines, grass beds and shaded banks where predator fish hunt. A go-to pattern for warm-water fly anglers targeting trophy largemouth bass and smallmouth bass along with other sunfish-feeding gamefish
The long slim body and pointed nose of this bug enables us to fish it effectively with a subtle teasing action along shallow river banks and over partly submerged grassbeds.
