Duck -
Just give Doug a few minutes.

P.S. After googling it just now, it looks like a fly that Joni tied at demo here in IF a couple months ago. If not exactly the same fly, it sure looks to me like her recipe would be close enough.

The fish are always right.
ducksterman,
It looks like the Morrish Mouse has a deer hair body, a narrow Zonker strip tail and the foam over the back: http://www.idylwilde.com/flygallery.html Click on Steelhead & Salmon Surface Patterns and Click on the M Mouse. I noticed one recipe had a small tuft of fur at the end of the tail. One person commented that the M Mouse worked better than traditional Mouse flies.

Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them- these are the best guides for man. A.E.
Hey Duckster, Check out September/October 2008 American Angler Two mice patterns are in it, the mouserat included. Or try this recipe. http://www.flyfishingconnection.com/...Rat+-+Natural/
Good luck
The Morris Mouse is tied with either spun deer hair or Rabbit.
The late Dennis Brakke came up with a pattern that calls for either Chenille or shammy tail, THICKER strip of foam over back and MUSKRAT! for the body as Muskrat is water repellent where ZONKER absorbs the water.
I have been using these regularly and they float really well. Also leave the piece above the eye of the hook a little longer (you can always trim it later) and you can get some killer action out of the fly....like a popper.
Joni...what thickness of foam do you like to use on these meeesses?
Finally....thanks
Seems fairly self explanatory. We're talking 3 materials here, folks.
not everybody is an expert fly tyer and it would be pretty hard for a beginner to early intermediate tyer to figure outOriginally Posted by chewydog
