I believe I'm only allowed to use a single hook on the creeks I fish in, here in Pennsylvania ... catch and release areas. I guess I could tie this on a light wire articulated shank, with a trailing hook only. I really want to tie some of these. I've seen a few vids with folks using this pattern. Thanks for the vid👍🏻✌🏻
Inverted hooks harm less fish in my experience and because often you use this fly to bounce over logs and sticks to make it look like a mouse on the move
Do you cut the larger hook for any reason other than to have a single hook for regulations? I'd like to tie these up with single stinger hook like you showed, but also with leaving the hook as I've hooked up with big fish on both, but the fish do slash alot at these so if you can run two hooks it feels like the better option. Have you had issues with leaving in the larger hook?
Great Pattern, great tying (as usual) Thanks for the video!
So much fun fishing mice patterns, POW ! :-)

What size Salmon/Steelhead Hook are you using for this?
Thank you I was curious about why the tail Hook and not just use the primary hook

Does the hook catch the tail mate ?
That doesn't even look like a mouse fish will never eat it
It creates the silhouette of a fury little critter and a Brown will hit it. Take my word for it. It's usually close to dark time when we use them.
LOL! Yea you're totally right, you should never fish them
