The Umpqua Fly Loco Mouse is a modern mouse imitation designed for anglers who like to target large, aggressive predators on the surface. Its compact body and pronounced profile displace plenty of water, making it easy for fish to locate, especially during low-light and night sessions. The pattern works very well for trophy trout, chub, pike and other predatory species that feed on small mammals drifting across the current.
This fly is tied on a strong, sharp Size 6 hook that can handle hard strikes and heavy fish. The materials give a convincing silhouette and movement, while remaining durable after repeated takes and casting. Fish it across current seams, under overhanging trees or along reed edges with slow strips, swings or subtle twitches to trigger explosive surface takes.
