Michigan Mouse Meat

This June I will be headed up to the hollowed waters of the Au Sable River a tributary to Lake Huron. Its been a long time since I have seen her. This time its not for steelhead its for trout. I will be using my new 4wt Pixie stick and my 6wt at night to fish for trout with mice! Here are a few mice I tied today.

Daiichi 2720 #2 "debarbed"

 Lay-in the rabbit zonker strip "natural was used"

Add foam to top of fly

Wrap forward the zonker strip "I was short this time, but all is not lost". Instead of scrapping the fly I used brown dubbing to fill the gap.

Normally you want the zonker to wrap just behind the eyelet

All was not a total loss!
