In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Max ties the Big Eyed Semperfli Mouse!
This Sempermouse has many rigorous hours of R&D that went into its creation. Steve (Fellow AvidMax Fly Guru) and I have been working on this fly for over a year and are happy to finally share it. Thank you to Semperfli for providing us with such a cool material to utilize! Semperfli Wabbit is a super unique material that performs great and lasts fish after fish. It has excellent movement, dries/sheds water very quickly, and is super tyer friendly. In order to get this fly to have the right action and floatability, the 6mm foam is very necessary. Using anything less will lead to a scuba diving mouse pattern (which also works on the right rivers), which does not allow the mouse to swim frantically on the surface. We like it in a couple of different combinations, but the Fox Squirrel is the go-to color. If you have never fished a mouse pattern for trout, you need to! It can be some of the most exciting "dry fly" fishing you will ever do.

[@bradwolfe3322]

Nice details on the mouse tail and ears, Max.

No problem 👍

[@joshzirkle4339]

Awesome pattern, always look forward to the videos

[@AvidMax]

Glad you like them!

[@gldead3741]

Every video you guys do is better then the one before! This one was absolutely amazing . I have been a fan of mousing for Trout for a while now and this pattern will make a great addition to my arsenal . I look forward to each Tuesday to see what new flies you guys can come up with. Keep up the great work and tight Lines to you all. It would be an honor to win The Loon Core Fly Tying Kit . P.S . as far as the N.Y. Rangers go I was a fan years ago but when they traded Eddie Giacomne !

[@AvidMax]

Thank you very much! Let us know when you catch a fish with this pattern!

[@hunterrichmond6101]

Nice tie! Would love to see some of your favorite winter flies as we head into that season.

[@AvidMax]

We have some good winter options coming right up!

[@bigdaddy99929]

Great mouse. Look forward to tying and fishing it here in Alaska. 🙂. Thx!

[@AvidMax]

Sounds like a plan, enjoy!

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

Great intro! I kept waiting for something to explode from the depths and inhale it! Very lifelike swim.

[@AvidMax]

Glad you liked it!

[@christopherb8393]

Great articulated fly. I can’t wait to try one like it for Pike and Musky fishing.

[@AvidMax]

That should work great, give it a shot!

[@elliottherrera6679]

Great Video! awesome pattern and really dig the black out tools

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching!

[@benfoley3980]

I’ve been fly fishing and trying my own flies for two years now. Always amazing what can be used to make different flies. I think I love tying flies more than fishing. Lol. Like the use of dacron instead of a shank. Keep up the good work with the videos. Love them.

[@AvidMax]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching our videos, Ben.

[@thickchickenthighs8428]

I love the synthetic rabbit I feel like it would be nice for like a ragged gamechanger maybe, and I’ve never used a loon tool before but heard good reviews about it

[@AvidMax]

That would be cool! We love this material and it would definitely be worth trying on other rabbit substitutions!

[@thickchickenthighs8428]

I will have to try to tie one with the rabbit but schools been busy I’ve also been getting my girlfriend into tying so I’ll see if I can get her to tie one😂

[@Michaelheadphoto]

Love seeing this fly being tied

[@AvidMax]

Thanks!

[@OneThird1533]

That mouse looks awesome. The toolkit looks legit. But that hoodie is what's up.

[@AvidMax]

Haha thanks Mike! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@dougcook3351]

Great video. That would work well for the pike in one of our lakes up here in NW Montana. Thanks for posting.

[@AvidMax]

You bet!

[@Coladita52]

Excellent material love the videos.

[@AvidMax]

Thanks!

[@jerrymohrlang7134]

What a great tie, Max! The one problem I have since I've been following your videos is trying to keep up with tying what you've shown. But I'm not too worried, now that the high mountain lakes that I fish are freezing up, I'll have the winter months to catch up. Just keep showing more of these great videos and I'll keep tying.

[@AvidMax]

We have been spending more time at the bench now that temps are dropping off, with the occasional cold weather outing just to feel a tug and put a bend in the rod! 🎣

[@BrianGreenen]

Really good level of detail in the instructions

[@AvidMax]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rebundy1]

Thanks for the chance to win. Trying to learn this skill to up my game on the water.

[@AvidMax]

Good luck, Richard!

[@jamom8804]

The blackout loon tools make your flies catch more fish…. Also, agree on the tails on nymphs 😂

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@dukedrouillard8857]

Just getting started with fly fishing; bought a Redington Vice from AvidMax in September. This was the first fly tying video I've seen, but it looks like it would be fun to do. I'll be sure to watch more of these.

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@chbeagles]

I really like the looks of this fly in the water.

[@jerrymedlock1632]

Mouse “swims well” looks lifelike.

[@AvidMax]

Sure does!

[@davidhudak4180]

Great Pattern - and Thanks for explaining/demonstrating it so clearly, I’ll be checking your site and ordering some materials, I don’t think I’ve ever visited it. I’ll also check you out on FB and IG. Thank you!

[@edds46]

Cool pattern. I’ve ever fished a mouse but looks like it would be fun to tie.

[@AvidMax]

It is fun to tie and to fish! Give it a shot!

[@huntingmissouri5420]

I like that mouse pattern!! Looks very effective!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@AvidMax]

It really is! This thing has caught many fish for us.

[@huntingmissouri5420]

@@AvidMax ya I bet it has, I wish I could get more time on the river!!

[@rickjones3558]

Love this pattern. Awesome!!

[@AvidMax]

Thank you! 😊

[@daleweller5193]

Thank you for explaining and showing what materials you are using,not many people do.

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad it helps!

[@richardreese3897]

Love this pattern. Can't wait to give it a go!

[@AvidMax]

Good luck!

[@michaelvella3939]

One of the reasons I watch the weekly AvidMax Tuesday Fly Tie sessions is to see all new and very cool tying materials they offer such as the Wabbit synthetic material. Can’t wait to try it! And as a big time AVS fan… what’s up with the Rangers jersey!? Got to go Colorado AVALANCHE home team!!! Thanks AvidMax team for helping me tie better and enjoy the art!!

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching! We so glad to be able share the joy of fly tying with people and it is one of the many things that drive us and keep us connected to what we love 🎣

[@donk745]

I'm new to fly tying and I defiantly going to try to tie this Big Eyed Semperfil Mouse and try it out for Muskie fishing.

[@AvidMax]

Sounds like a good plan, have fun!

[@sherimehl6237]

Enjoyed the semperfli mouse and how it will move in the water. I am thinking this idea might be good for other flies and ocean fishing using flies. You have me thinking outside the box!

[@AvidMax]

That's a great idea!

[@DML575]

Nice tie: Big Eyed Semperfli Mouse aka The Mounster

[@AvidMax]

Haha great name idea!

[@ivanbrown6982]

Already ordered the supplies to tie this for Wisconsin big browns. Ordered through the brick and mortar store and the associate was great in helping me order.

[@AvidMax]

Awesome, send us a picture when you finish tying them and especially once you land a fish with it!

[@randyshioshita3747]

Thanks, I just really enjoyed this video. looks like a deadly pattern.

[@AvidMax]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adventuredoogs9902]

It always looks so easy. just bought a cheep kit to make some spiders. been fly fishing for just under a year, I'm hooked on the cast.

[@AvidMax]

That is awesome!

[@march3920]

Going to try wabbit on saltwater patterns. Thanks for that one.

[@AvidMax]

Good luck!

[@leonardwells9613]

Killer pattern, great tie, can’t wait to fish this. L 👍😎🎣😎👍

[@AvidMax]

Let us know how it works for you!

[@ivanbrown6982]

Just got the material to tie these last night from Avidmax and couldn't wait to try them. Just couldn't get the eyes for them

[@matthunter3912]

Awesome looking fly 👍

[@AvidMax]

[@dws2917]

Nice pattern -can’t wait to try it at night

Lenny! (Of Mice and Men) Great predator fly! Good luck with the give away!

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate it.

[@lylefinger315]

Great video Looking forward to making that mouse

[@AvidMax]

Glad you liked it, hope you have success with the mouse!

[@JCS_72]

That Wabbit strip looks like it was made for that pattern!

[@AvidMax]

When we first saw this material we had the exact same thought! It really is a perfect match for the mouse pattern we envisioned creating for Alaska and beyond.

[@MikeSmith-up2px]

Great fly. Thanks for sharing.

[@AvidMax]

Thank you too!

[@jakespool2000]

I haven't tried any loon tools other than the dubbing spinner (works great) They look like quality tools, I like the all black.

[@AvidMax]

We love the dubbing spinner as well! Great for all of your loop needs.

[@walterroberts3117]

"Roast for the Rangers jersey"! The store is like 5 minutes from the Avs practice facility. LOL. keep up the good work guys! See you guys soon.

[@AvidMax]

Ha! Thank you, Walter! We appreciate the support and will see you soon.

[@deanjohnson7749]

Great pattern that will work on my lake fishing for largemouth bass in Alabama.

[@AvidMax]

Yes it will, good luck!

[@Nic870]

I really enjoy your videos!

[@AvidMax]

Thank you very much!

[@NARoutdoors]

I’d love to see some kebari flies! Maybe a series on tieing with minimal tools (no vice…maybe found feathers).

[@martyrothman3933]

I like that I'm new to part-time but I do pick up feathers all over fortunately where I live peacocks are everywhere I must have 50 peacock feathers

[@easttnflyfreak2870]

great tye !Thanks for sharing

[@AvidMax]

No problem 👍

[@osumoose11]

How cool would it have been if the mouse was blown up by a monster Brownie! Thanks guys!

[@AvidMax]

Who wouldn't love that?! Haha

[@joeynizuk4539]

Great fly, I'm tying this one for sure!

[@AvidMax]

Please do! Let us know what you catch on it.

[@peterhellenbrand8178]

Comment (anything) to satisfy the requirements. Also dries are the best and this is a stretch

[@AvidMax]

Thanks, Peter!

[@chrispalmer1813]

Would be awesome to see some region-specific tying series. Like a big western rivers and eastern brook trout streams

[@AvidMax]

We can certainly do some more region specific flies! Our tying staff have experience all over the country so we can sprinkle in some different ideas in the future. Of course, there are tons of patterns we've posted that could work just about anywhere, anytime!

[@steve4256]

I like the Rangers jersey , nice mouse also , thanks

[@AvidMax]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrVezzuto]

Great video easy fly to tie

[@AvidMax]

Yep, easy and deadly, just how we like 'em.
