A Colorful Legacy

First tied by Quebec fly tier Charles Langevin in the 19th century and originally known as The Langevin, this pattern gained a fierce following when writer John Alden Knight introduced it to the angling world as The Assassin. After one unforgettable day on the water, Canadian author Greg Clark famously called it "as dangerous as a Mickey Finn”—a nod to the infamously spiked drink—because of its unmatched ability to “knock fish out.”

Whether you're just getting into streamer fishing or you're an old-school fly fisher with a soft spot for classics, the Mickey Finn is the kind of fly that brings out the thrill of the hunt and delivers results when it matters most.

Adventure-ready. Fish-approved. Timeless for a reason.
