Mouse

Mouse

The Mouse is a big-game surface pattern built for the most aggressive trout and bass fishing you can do on a fly rod. Spun deer hair creates a buoyant, water-resistant body that pushes a wake across the surface, while the leather tail adds a lifelike, trailing action that triggers explosive strikes from large predatory fish. The built-in weed guard lets you fish it tight to banks, logs, undercut ledges, and heavy structure without hanging up — exactly where the biggest fish hold and ambush prey after dark.
