Awesome ties Jim! I'd be super curious to see what these look like when wet.

That's a beauty. Is there a YouTube video anywhere for this pattern?

Thanks. I haven't looked, but there must be numerous videos. It's been around a long while. You might search for parachute madam x as well as PMX.

Minnie Mouse Master Splinter on a #8 curved nymph hook
Inspired by the brookie thread. Trimmed the tail and used the cut fur for a dubbing loop instead of wrapping squirrel zonker strip.

Get drunk. Tie stimulators.

Thanks for the inspiration! I was actually thinking about spinning up some stimmies this week, just didn’t get it done. Maybe I’ll clean up my tying area and crank out a few this evening. I really enjoy tying that pattern.

@hooker-of-men, thanks for posting that video!!!
I tied my own version and went to the stream after work today using an “all terrestrial” dry dropper with The GFA Hopper & unweighted Green Weenie.
One little wild brown & rainbow took the hopper and the other wild brown took the GW (a lot of sunfish took that too).
Thx for adding to my box!

One of my favorite stimulator patterns, tied on a size 12 hook. Good brookie bug!
