Lil' Hood Rat Fly

No comments yet

The Lil' Hood Rat is the baby brother to the Original Hood Rad. The Lil Hood Rat is a great pattern in small creeks and high mountain lakes. Small Brown and Brook Trout love to tear up this small mouse pattern! The Lil Hood Rat has been downsized from the regular Hood Rat, and uses Pine Squirrel Fur instead of Rabbit Fur. This is a great micro mouse pattern and a must have in your small stream box!!

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
