I am going to have a few of these in my fly box from now on!!
At the last Durban Flytyers evening we tied the Mighty Mouse - an ugly looking large fly that looks jut like a mouse. I was sceptical about its catching abilities - but then I took a look at the video below. Terry Andrews who demonstrated how to tie the fly has been catching very successfully - especially in the shallows and near reeds and weeds along the banks
See the pics of the fly below - especially the one comparing it to a mouse that was regurgitated by a trout - see how similar they look!
