Good article. I can attest to the effectiveness of mosquito patterns. I was out with my dad and brother in law last weekend fishing a small stream in Nova Scotia. I tied on a small mosquito pattern, tied using light and dark moose mane for the body, some mallard breast feather fibres for a tail, and a soft grizzle feather hackle (for a soft hackle version). In a fairly short time this resulted in 3 brook trout to hand, one long distance release, and a few hits.
