#191 Mickey Doodle - Robbie HiltzTied by: Robbie Hiltz
Originated by: Carrie Stevens
Source: Carrie G. Stevens: Maker of Rangeley Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies; Hilyard Pg 126-128
Hook: Partridge CS15 #4
Body: Flat silver tinsel
Belly: Yellow bucktail
Throat: Yellow hackle fibers
Wing: 2 red hackles flanked by yellow hackles
Shoulder: Red hen back
Cheek: Jungle cock
Head: Black (optional orange band)
Notes: Red and yellow was a popular color combination of Carrie's day, and judging by the continued success of the Mickey Finn, it still does quite well in the modern age. Mickey's Ghost is a pattern designed by Mike Martinek which also pays homage to the most famous of bucktails. Carrie's version is quite similar to a Canadian version of the Mickey Finn which calls for a married wing of red and yellow goose wing.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
