Tying Tips: Be careful not to cut through the foam with your thread. Use a thicker thread to keep that from happening.

The foam back keeps this fly sitting in the surface film like a real mouse. The pine squirrel is mostly under water where the foam back of the fly is on the surface.
Fish this fly with a heavy floating line, you’ll need it to cast because mouse patterns are wind resistant and can get water logged. . You’ll want to fish this fly off the bank. Cast next too the bank at a downstream angle. Land the fly right next to the bank and with constant quick little strips work the fly toward the middle of the river. Big browns are prone to missing strikes on mouse patterns. The rear hook gives you better odds on hooking up.
