Mouse Patterns for Salmon River Browns and Steelies?

Recommended Posts

I've read articles about mouse patterns working on large bows in Alaska and large river browns. Would there be a use for them on the tributaries of the Great Lakes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A local guide on the Pere Marquette scored a 30" brown on his own mouse pattern.

You will have very little chance during that time of year. First thing in the morning on fresh water will be your best bet.

 

There are still so many eggs in the river at this time that their noses are in the stones and they will still be getting bombarded with lead from sun-up to sun down. Swinging flies was tough during that time last year.....but.....November was a different story.

 

You will have a much better chance later in the fall/winter and in the spring.
