Tegg, Yup that a Morrish Mouse. It was developed as a mouse pattern for Rainbows in Alaska. I’ve been throwing it at Bass with great success. I don’t know why the Bass would prefer that bug over a Diver or Popper, buy some days they ignore my standard bugs and then climb all over the Morrish. They’re easy tie too!
This thread is more my speed. I fly fish 99% of the time, and tie all of my own flies. Mostly bass/musky stuff nowadays, but still tie for trout trips west and north and some salt stuff as well.
Im glad that this topic is already appealing to people. I like to tie flies and make my own patterns like the woolly bugger up top I never saw one like that but when I made it and used it I caught stealhead late in the season after everyone said you cant catch them anymore I was hammering them. I haven’t noticed a forum that has a fly tying topic.
This is a new fly I tied for lakers behind a downrigger. I also realized that the first pic I posted was a teeny nymph that I tied I uploaded the wrong fly. You aren’t suppose to see that secret weapon. But hear it is the Davis Arrowhead. (Zonker rabbit strip for the tail, tinsel wrap on the body, polymer a rabbit strip for the head and some crinkle flash that you can’t really see)
