Here’s another cool how-to video from our Canadian friends at The New Fly Fisher television show. Here, host Colin McKeown demonstrates an interesting technique for waking a mouse fly across a run, enticing a savage strike from a big brook trout. Rather than stripping the line, Colin employs a rod-tip wiggle that imitates a swimming rodent.

Just one thought on fishing mice or streamers: oftentimes we are fishing them in low-light conditions when we might not be thinking of wearing sunglasses. Accidents can still happen, and a pair of clear safety glasses is a great idea to protect your eyes from those big hooks!
