TT you're scare'in me.:shock: Actually there are mouse patterns that can be used for larger fish especially brown trout. Mice are nocternal and will swim across rivers and other bodies of water at night where fish can pick them OFF. I'd like to try it. Cool video because it showed how a fish might take a mouse down.

Mouse patters SLAUGHTER! Browns, smallies, LM, and anything else that's in an aggressive mood. I threw one last summer on the Luckiamutte and regardless of whether or not they could get it in their mouth everything was hitting it. An absolute PAIN to cast with a 5 weight but a blast none the less.

It's kind of funny because I was looking for a tutorial on a mouse pattern when I found this video.

I mean if you break a line on one of those it's just like *poof* and then all you have is a useless mini-armadillo pattern of thread and a bunch of deer fur in your eyes.

That sounds good. I wish the weather would warm up. Years ago I worked with a guy that fed his snake baby chickens.

Are those mouse patters heavy enough to cast from a spinning rod?

Not if you want to use line thick enough for typical top water fishing.
You could probably use some small weights. When fishing you jerk them pretty hard so they glug underwater, at that point it's a game of how long you want to wait before the next pull while your weight is sinking. Of course you can fish them a bunch of different ways but that particular retrieve is meant to simulate a drowning mouse trying to stay on the surface and has always worked the best for me. With the weights under the surface and sinking it might actually help dunk the mouse a little so it might work ok. I guess you would just have to try them.
Thinking about it more I would bet they weight more than a small rooster tail so maybe you could cast them alright...

Yeah, I saw that one too. I think I'd be casting my line in that water.

A green one. you breed rats like a bunch of them so you could sell like a few baby rats once they have fur for dirt cheap or are they like the kind you are trying to feed you family with buy selling as pets? how close to eugene do you live? i may need some once the weather warms up we might get a snake.
