Gerry Do you have a pattern for the Bulkey Mouse? Maybe just the book you found it in would help. Thanks, Deb

I had originally tied these flies to use in BC but never did and they were still in my steelhead box. The fly is a small (size 6) Bulkley Mouse. When hitched in the proper place (behind the collar) they float and wake like a champ. On this trip I caught my first dry fly steelies with a spey rod, what a thrill to see the fly disappear in a swirl. I used a natural color one during the day and a black one in the evening. I'm going to tie them with a small tuft of pink on top, so I can track the fly better in choppy water. In my book this fly is a definite winner!--Gerry Ichikawa
