johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2023 Nice mice / mouse rats. I haven’t done one in years but pulled an old picture from this forum taken 7 years ago. Didn’t realize it was that long. I called it the p-51 mustang mouse rat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never really see a big hatch of them on the rivers I fish here in MA, but starting sometime in June, I do see the occasional dun flying around, not on the water. The nymphs seem to do well anyway. They can get pretty big here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
