Big ol' rat

Recommended Posts

great fly I would pitch that on the shore for huge browns nothing like hearing a huge brown beach itself trying to get a mouse I tie them as big as 4/0 for the browns around my area and they still sometimes swallow them with reckless abandonment

Riff, whats the smallest brown that you've had on the 1/0 + sized ones?

That's one of the best looking rat patterns I've ever seen! wub.png

 

I would expect it would work well on either LMB or SMB! smile.png

Very nice. I would imagine that would work well for anything that eats mice. good color combo too. white on the bottom is important is many wild mice species have a whitish belly..

Very nice Rat! Question: How do you tie the deer hair --white on bottom and brown / gray on top?

Thanks.

 

The deer hair is stacked, not spun. Stacking allows you to keep colors under control instead of having the same uniform color spun around the hook.

Jeff, great tie! Please tell me that you cleaned your tying desk off for the picture, it can't look like that all the time!?

It looks nothing like that at the moment. It hasn't been clean since the first week of use!
