October Flies from the Bench

First attempt at a foam mouse. I'm going to use a zonker with shorter hairs on it for the next one.

That is one fluffy looking mouse! Looks great. I bet it will create a good wake on water. Brings to mind the complex twist mouse I saw a while back on fly fish food. I tied a few up. The LMB loved them. Let us know how you get on with your pattern. Cheers.

 

That complex twist mouse is pure garbage;)

Chuck, thank you for the kind words, greatly appreciate them. I'll definitely be posting my progress as it goes along, gonna have to try that complex twist mouse. I love doing complex twist patterns.

Tongue-in-cheek. It's his fly. Kinda like "There ain't no fish in _________ River".

switch10: I don't fish for carp, but can see this style being utilized for many different species - mind sharing how you tied it?

Yup, that's the video I followed. The fly works really well, just make sure you use the right materials as getting the tail to float and move perfectly is actually a bit difficult. I also found it necessary to use a tungsten bead behind the hook eye to help balance out better. Definitely use a brass bead on the end of the tail though or it won't move properly.

 

Here's one from yesterday...
