Cool fly, looks pretty easy to tie. Cost? - ultrachenille, chickabou/marabou, 2mm foam and stick-on eyes are cheap; hook's going to be the most expensive component (those Gammys run about 30 cents each).

I'm not up to rats, yet. I haven't even managed a mouse pattern.
But I do have one mouse pattern on my "favorites" and I'm thinking I will tie one and try chasing some brown trouts later in the summer, and later in the day, with it.

The fish are always right.
Great looking pattern. I will be sure to add it to my box for my next trip out for bass. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.

Neat fly. I have been playing with sculpin wool in dubbing loops for bait fish patterns. I have also been thinking of using it for a mouse/rat pattern with a spun deer hair head. Pretty much the same idea with different materials. Thanks for sharing!
Looks like it'll swim right
