Morrish Mouse Vid

[Din]

was trying to do a couple of these up, with a slight variation...but wanted to see how it compared to the straight deer hair mice. Vid isn't great quality but I like the movement and wake it makes in the water. Anyways just thought I'd post it up..

Cool vid. Nice action on that fly from the looks of it.

I love how it looks like theres 2 feet kicking at the back.

The action it has in the water looks great. Is it just rabbit strip and foam?

that looks pretty cool. i like the movement for sure. and a fairly simple pattern

[Guest bigbadbrent]

haha, coming with me to toss mice and frogs one night?

[ladystrange]

i think that would be a great idea. i cant see in the day light, what the hell. i might as well stumble around in the dark. seemingly, i do that anyway

[Guest bigbadbrent]

nothing like night fishing, it's a drug...the best day you've ever had doesn't compare to landing a dozen+ night time fish

[ladystrange]

ok, i will hold you to it. late may early june then? or later in the summer

[Guest bigbadbrent]

July & August usually, stays nice and warm all night..

 

 

this invitation goes out to you as well Mitch. Have you tried tying it the original way, with spun deer hair as the body under the foam

i don't think i've met a tyer in my entire life that doesn't use the bathroom as a testing ground for flies...it must be a prerequisite before you are allowed to start tying...
