foam/deer hair mouse

[fishaholic69 0]

made these foam/deer hair mice. use 3 black rubber legs knotted up for tail, deer hair tips facing back unpacked and unspun for the body and then tan craft foam for the head. supposed it will float with the deer hair body a lil under the water like a real mouse that doggy paddles. try it out. I am for river smallies and pond largemouth! made one with a weed guard and will make the rest that way from now on! its a 10 min tie if that. super simple! my 1st time working with deer hair was today. I got this from a video from a guide from alaska and chagrin river outfitters named matt hynes. he guided the host of familiar waters once on the show. :thumb: what ya think. these are the 1st 2 I tied. if you want to get the video go to http://flyandfloatfishing.com/joomla/index...3&cat_id=15

make some up! the bass round here like um! got some largemouth ang gills on it. also got a river smallmouth to take a swipe at it but i missed him somehow? works great, floats forever and its easy to tie.

very nice-it doesn't need to be complicated. I live in eastern ontario and the wild mice here have white bellies.I've got some riendeert hair that is super soft and spins real nice. picked it up in vancouver a few years back in a craft store as they use it for the plush toy dogs you buy and these are tanned cuttings form the factory after they cut the patterns.

Yeah fishaholic, this is by far my favorite mouse pattern there is, the fact that it doesn't have eyes or whiskers which are unnessesary, is awesome and practical. Here in Colorado at the Dream Stream and other rivers the trout love them, I tie a very simular pattern and works wonders not just for fat trout but for bass as well! Great tie by the way!!!!
