murray Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 That's a great video. I'm going to try my hand at tying a mouse fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFury Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Haha what a coincidence, i was watching this exact video last night. Had me tying mice flys all day today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relk19 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Anybody ever have any luck with mouse patterns on any local rivers before? These sorta videos really get me excited to tie some of those bad boys, but haven't had any luck the few times I have tried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Well Monger there is something to be said about having a grown out stocker waving at you from 4 ft in the air and leaving immediately after you feel and hear your backing knot go rat-a-tat-tat through your guides.

TroutPanther Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Love mousin! Sweet vids! Certainly haven't been too successful at it for numbers of fish, but when it works, it is awesome... I really like this guy's two-tone mouse, but even just using a single tone of natural belly hair it looks good - I have found clipping off the main hook and using a stinger instead on the tail seems to work when a fish tries to pull a mouse under instead of a full-on strike: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Good thread, I am really tossing the around the idea of using only two flies when brown hunting this season, one of which is the mouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scel Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Dammit, Taco. Now I have to add another item to my bucket list. It just makes sense that Alaska would have some amazing fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Tried tossing a mouse in some of my small stream big brown waters, put em down for hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangus Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I tried a mouse in one run in the elbow last spring and had a brown hit it. Missed him, as I saw him come up from bottom and jumped the gun on the hook set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if dead drifting it into where you want to fish then swinging/chugging would have worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Perhaps, I intend to give it the old college try again this summer. I tried popping it along butt the Browns scattered. I want to tie some really small ones up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The other is a triple articulated sex dungeon, right? No, Triple articulated dungeons fold back on themselves resulting in tangled flies as well as I don't think dungeons are good at illicting a strike, they bring the fish around but they don't commit. I only advocate the dungeon as an attractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Long time ago my ex-wife was accusing me of not going fishing because I never bring any fish home lol. So i decided to bring her a brown out of the south fork of Prairie Creek. Cleaned it and found two mice in its stomach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only advocate the dungeon as an attractor. Put beads in to the articulations before pulling the wire/line tight. Not a 100 percent fix, but definitely reduces the tangles. Is your experience species specific? I always fished big ones for bulls in the kootenays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this conversation I am only talking about browns, IMO fishing for bulls with a dungeon is a waste of tying time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
