WOW, way cool Iain. You just reminded me that i need to do some night 
fishin' while it's nice and warm at night during the next couple months. I 
know one really nice pool for doin' that where you can leave your truck 
runnin' with the lights on the water and it's a very easy pool to wade. And 
nothin' works any better than a mouse. Although i usually prefer a muddler 
minnow, sometimes with a cone head. OH! i better GET. Just remembered i 
rented a Nichole Kidman flick. lol, mark.....

  Mouse plagues come every 4 -5 years in the South Island of New Zealand 
this is because the beech trees flower and drop their seeds which creates 
an abundance of food for the mice. The mice numbers explode, whcih creates 
a very nice feeding opprotunity for the large brown trout that inhabit the 
rivers that flow through the beech forests. The upper westhand corner of 
hte South Island of new Zealand has some beautiful beech forests, unlogged 
and mostly untouched by man.

  For many trout anglers this is heaven, the large trout feast on the mice 
that swim across the river , especailly at night during the summer 
months... Dec - feb...

  My contacts tell me this year is expected to be a Mouse Plague year...

  remember that article I sent you don O...

  Mouse fly = trout fly !
