Mouse Flies After Dark

September 16, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

Forget about drag-free drifts. The current rage among Pere Marquette trout anglers — especially those looking for big trout after dark — are big hairy flies that leave wakes. “Mice, once the weapon of choice of a few hard-core, tight-lipped, after-dark fly fishermen, are mainstream now. More and more anglers are becoming acquainted with the big bushy bugs that are known to draw the attention of a class of trout that many anglers never even see.” Bob Gwidz on MLive.com.
