Tied this fly with dubbing from an old dog after combing him out one day. I had saved the comb-out for just such a venture.
Buster was a Samoyed and thus pure white. I used the Oscar recipe substituting Buster's contribution. I have had great luck on the Upper Mohawk River and the West Canada Creek . . . both in Central New York State

Thank you for taking an interest in my flies, I have had many pleasant moments while creating and tying my flies. It gives me great pleasure to see others tying and enjoying my patterns. BTW ( Nice job on the flies.)

My name is Mark. I will be heading to Belgium in July to see my Fiance. I am an East coast Surfcaster. Mid to late july I will be north of La Rochelle, France. Her family and I are camping somewhere close to the coast. I am bringing my fishing stuff, 8'6" rod 15 lb line on a spinning reel and some of my plugs yozuri, sp minnow, etc. I tie some good sand eel flies and will have plenty of them. I'd be stoked to fish with someone.

Brad,

No, this mouse tends to dive if you fish it too fast. A dead drift with a twitch now and then works best. Or you could add a foam lip in the front of the mouse to press it above the surface when it's retrieved.

Does this mouse plane on the top of the water like other mice patterns? It has been my experience that the more the mouse skitters and skips on the surface the more violent and acrobatic the strike.

River Otters moved into the water system about five years ago...I've seen 'em. The big trout have become Otter food, but you can still have fun with a 2 weight rod.

Hi George,
My wife & I are planning to visit Scarborough some time in mid July. A life long fly fisherman for trout, I only recently added stripers to my short list of quarry fish. I have a two person kayak and am planning on trying the vast Scarborough River estuary for stripers. I'd welcome & appreciate any advice along any lines (time of day, best tide conditions, hot spots, patterns) as well as your company, if you're interested. I'm exclusively C&R for trout, and so far, ditto for stripers.

I like it Martin. I'm heading up to Northern Ontario in mid-July, gives me a new fly to try. Should work for the smallmouth to. It should work around here, probably in a smaller size for the bass and chain pickerel in the local lakes. I'll let you know how it works.

Hi boys.
I will present a few of my models flies that have proven over the years. I love these flies because they are simple, but very effective. They can be made ​​in different materials and in different colors. Both are made, they always work.

Phil,

It's not Linekury, but Linekurv and the web site is simply the same linekurv.dk as it's also clearly mentioned in the article that you will find by clicking on the image or following the links below it.

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
