Streamer
Mýsla
Icelandic mouse imitation
TroutSubsurface
A weighted Icelandic streamer that rides hook-up on dumbbell or bathchain eyes — silver tinsel body, red crystal antron collar, black duck or goose wing — designed to work bottom structure snag-free for brown trout and Arctic char.
Fish this when
Rivers and lakes through the Icelandic season. Fish it hook-up along the bottom or through holding structure where it can be worked snag-free.
Why it works
The inverted-riding eyes let it be fished tight to structure without hanging up, and the flash and profile trigger both brown trout and Arctic char feeding along the bottom.
