Natural Mouse

The Natural Mouse is a highly realistic topwater pattern designed to imitate small rodents swimming across the surface—an irresistible target for large trout, bass, and other predatory fish. Crafted with a natural-colored body, tail, and detailed silhouette, this pattern closely mimics the profile and movement of a mouse in distress. It’s a deadly choice for night fishing or early morning sessions on rivers and lakes where big fish are known to hunt the surface.

The buoyant construction allows the fly to skate and push water as it’s retrieved, creating commotion and triggering predatory instincts. Fish it near grassy banks, log jams, or overhanging vegetation—anywhere a real mouse might fall into the water. Use a slow, steady strip or intermittent twitches to simulate swimming or panicked movement, and be ready for explosive eats.
