Ballok's Northwoods Ninja

The Northwoods Ninja by Dave Ballok is an articulated, 10 inch long fly designed and tied for fly fishing muskies and pike. The untrimmed head pushes water to attract fish and creates turbulence behind it to make the materials swim. The fire tiger color pattern is a classic staple for a number of predators and has a huge history of success in pike and musky fly fishing. To get this musky fly down to where it needs to be, especially with the floating deer head, utilize a sink-tip like the Airflo Streamer Max Fly Line. When searching for large musky flies, especially fly fishing fall muskies, the Northwoods Ninja from Umpqua is an excellent choice.
