The "Tailing" of the Shrew

I always thought a shrew was a Shakespearean character played by Elizabeth Taylor

Guys fish for Labrador brookies with lemming imitations some years. I've seen large brookies knocking frogs into the water and eating them and once caught a brookie with a frog in its stomach.

In the movie Eastern Rises, about a few guys fishing in Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, they realized the trout were feeding on mice.

Here's a video of the mouse / fly they tied:

Once you jump trout on a mouse you'll be hooked! They'll either pounce or take like a shark. Morrish mice work good up here. Both bows and grayling! You don't need the detail as much as the littering wake, a bright evening and a good riffle to swing through. Dead drift works well when they're keyed up on them. But for me at least no where near as good as a downstream swing. Induce the jitter with the rod tip. Nothing big. Imagine a drowned rat in a pond of sharks.

Morrish is a simple tie and there's a good you tube on it. I'd make 0 changes .

You'll miss the bulk of them. Either they outright miss or if you're like me you'll bass'n jerk it away from them lol! Bill dance

More fun than....... Well you can fill in the blanks
