So after gaining some new information on how to tie a mouse I tied up a few versions and hit my favorite local hole, Little Harding Lake. Unfortunately living in Fairbanks, there's not much salmon/halibut fishing. And working so much I haven't gotten down south yet this year. It'll come though.
But I really like fishing this spot as there are some monster 'Bows here and its non-motorized boats only. Beautiful too.
So despite forecasts of scattered rain and thunderstorms I head out. Got on the water and it was nice. An hour later it was ominious, the sky and myself...

Then it was pouring but no signs at all of thunder or lightening so I toughed it out.

I caught a number of decent bows that day but no monsters. At the end of the day I tied on my new mouse and one little guy came out to play. He was the most beat up guy I've seen come out of this lake but a nice one none the less!

I didn't put any vitals for the temps, time, etc as I don't think anyone here will be utilizing that info. But if anyone is interested, just let me know. This was just for entertainment primarily and thanks for Mouse recipies. You'll notice a spun deer hair version landed the fish. It was the only I tried as the wind slowed and the skeeters were eating me alive and I had to get out!
