The Mini Mr Hanky is a great mouse pattern for big Alaskan Rainbows and large carnivorous Brown Trout! The Mini Mr Hanky is a lifelike mouse pattern that fishes incredibly well (way better than it looks dry)!! In this video James from InTheRiffle demonstrates tying the “Mini” version, but there is a full size version that uses rabbit instead of the pine squirrel. Both are equally effective, but the Mini is very popular in the lower 48. The Mini Mr Hanky is easy to fish, just quarter it down and across and “walk” (or wake) the fly slowly to the other bank and watch this fly work!!
If you make this fly, tag us at #avidmax on social media so we can see & share your fly!
