Umpqua Mini Mouse - #10

This compact mouse pattern is made for fun, visual fishing in smaller waters. The reduced size makes it much easier to cast under overhanging branches, along cutbanks or into pocket water where a full-size mouse can feel too bulky. It floats high, creates a clear silhouette, and pushes just enough water to wake up curious trout and larger panfish without spooking them.

Use it at dusk, dawn, or on overcast days when fish are happy to hunt the surface. Fish it on a short, accurate leader and twitch it across likely lies: under bushes, beside logjams or along weed edges. It is a simple, confidence-building choice when trying mouse fishing for the first time, and a handy option for experienced anglers looking to downsize their profile on wary fish.

• Miniature mouse surface fly for trout and panfish
• Ideal for creeks, small rivers and tight spots
• High-floating profile for good visibility and wake
• Compact size for easier casting in cover
• Works well at low light or on overcast days
