I have not caught a big bass in a long while. I am hoping that something different will be the ticket. Here is my first mouse...

Have you taken that lil fishing buddy to the TexasRangersBuckhornMuseum downtown yet?   They got every kinda fish or critter in this world mounted there!

 

No I haven’t, looks cool.  After all this covid stuff is over I’ll for sure check it out, thanks!

Nice! The upturned eye adds something, I think.

Thanks TS .  That hook can be difficult as I don’t tie on them often.

At The End Of The Line is on order but, in the mean time, I based this (loosely) off a description I found here. Not sure how I skipped a beat on the rib.

thread - Danville 6/0 light olive 
tail - pheasant tail
rib - small wire chartreuse 
abdomen - medium tinsel opal 
thorax - dubbing golden olive hackle - dyed golden olive (4 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow/1 Tsp Rit Camel/4 cups water)
collar - badger

Regards,
Scott

October Caddis Softhackle III

Switched to a different hook, body, collar and rib - the medium wire is a bit stiff to manipulate  on smaller flies; the twisted stuff is about the same thickness but a lot more flexible

hook - Maruto 7989 #10
thread - Danville 6/0 brown
tag - medium tinsel copper
rib - brassie wire copper (doubled/twisted)
abdomen - dubbing rusty orange/Ice Dub rust
thorax - aftershaft dyed orange (1 Tbs Rit Sunshine Orange/1 cup water) 
shoulder - pheasant rump dyed brown
collar - aftershaft dyed brown

Regards,
Scott

Nice fly, Flytier.  How long do the legs hold up?  I like any fly with peacock, except a Zug bug.

i dont know how long the legs will hold up as the fly is only an hour old still in my vise😀

If there isn't a REAL, STUFFED deepsea diver in that suit, then they don't have EVERY critter from this world mounted.  😆

That is correct.   They got Bonnie &Clydes car too but all human bodies have been removed.

We use them as toppings, and they last for at least a couple fish.
