First Morrish mouse

All I was able to track down was veevus 100d. I hadn’t seen the above post. Hopefully it will work ok. That stuff seems almost like unwaxed dental floss.

I've never tied or fished them but here's an article on the Morrish Mouse.

I think the ones in the article have a slimmer body and thinner tail.

Maybe a thinner body and tail is easier for a trout to take in????

Thanks for the info. I have been cutting the foam by hand and I liked the slightly wider look, but if a thinner one is more attractive to fish then I will definitely give it a try.  The tail has just been a mostly stripped rabbit strip. I am guessing to get thinner I need to just cut in half length wise.

They are supposed to be big fish flies so I hope you use strong tippet material and good luck!

JStockard has Veevus GSP in all sizes.

FYI they are also having a sale on some hooks, hair & fibers.
