Catch Bass With a Mouse
The Deer Hair Mouse fly, used to catch giant trout during the lemming migration in the far north, makes an exceptional autumn bass fly anywhere in the Lower 48. Tie a strand of stiff 30-pound-test leader or stainless-steel wire under the head to make the mouse weedless. Then cast into beds of pond lilies and crawl the mouse across the pads, making it swim across patches of open water.
