Thank-you for the simple and friendly explanation of how to make your mouse! Your video gave me the confidence that I could actually try it myself instead of buying them.
That’s the goal of these videos!!! I am by no means a professional. I just explain how i tie them :). Glad my video was able to help and thank you for reaching out!!! Tight lines!!
Nice fly...but I really wish someone out there would show these guys using a Thompson whip finisher how to use this tool. The Thompson whip finisher is an awesome tool. You can literally use this tool with one hand. Been using this whip finisher since the late 70's.
The Mustad 34007 SS hook kinds sucks cause it tends to bend. Besides, when have you ever seen bright shiny silver on a mouse? Instead, use the less expensive Mustad 3407BN (black nickel). The steel is harder and will not bend as easily and the black nickel blends in with your mouse fly when a fish is eyeballing the fly.
Great video Chris, love your intro! Love your realism to fly tying, especially when we make mistakes.

Good stuff! Happy to see that you can make these without all the mess with deer hair 😂
Hahahahaha
Look awesome headed to mckenzie this august you ever sell any?
No time to tie commercially these days, sorry
I tied something very similar but I use rubber bands cut to a point for the tail.
Thats a great idea Glenn
Hey Chris, what size hook is that?
Did you use cross cut rabbit or regular zonker strip?
I believe it is cross cut. Sorry for the late reply Spencer

You might try tying with a lighter color shirt. The lack of contrast between the material and your shirt made the video a bit tough to watch.
Absolutely!! In my more recent videos im wearing light grey. Thanks dude👊🏼
Have you had a chance to try it out yet?
Yes!!! They work well for brookies :)
No ode to joe?
