Are you throwing these with a 16 weight rod :-)
These are awesome dude
Hello Simon, you did it again! A very wise man once said that imagination is more important than knowledge, but you’ve demonstrated again that the combination of both is the real rebirth in fly fishing… or rat fishing (or whatever you want to call it).
Either way, this ‘Manta Rat’ looks fantastic!
Cheers guys, much appreciated.
Love this! You ever fish at night? Muskie get active just after dark. This would be a great pattern to mimic a muskrat. I'm going to tie this one up, but with one alteration... I'll use glow in the dark flashaboo for the whiskers
