Less is More Mouse

[Mike G]

I am cleaning up some old book Marks. The original Morrish Mouse always looked good to me. They have a mouse, dragon fly, or frog look to me. I tied some but have not used them yet. Now this "Less Mess" version falls in the category of "I shudda thought of that." The foam gives all the flotation you need and a bunny strip body would be more active than the traditional Deer Hair.

I saw this the other day. It looks good and is very easy to tie. Much less mess.

mike you are stealing my idea. i have a bunch tied up for the flyshow using snuggle up eyelash yarn for a rabbit hair replacement great action and 1/2 the weight when wet rich mc

rich,

 

You read my mind about using eyelash. I would probably use the stuff with longer fibers even Gilt Eyelash. Are you using furled eyelash for the tail?

no just 3 inches of the yarn trimmed very short, melt the end rich
