Mousey McMouseface
Winner of IFTD 2018 Best of Show Freshwater Fly Pattern!
Cheech put in some serious man hours behind his vise when developing this fly. This mouse is eerily similar in behavior when slowly stripped across the water surface in the dead of night. We hope you’ve been working on those biceps, because you’ll be pulling some serious fish with this mouse.

This fly is incredibly realistic. I’ve used it in a quiet pond at dawn and caught my first fish in weeks. The way it moves when stripped is almost like a real mouse. Highly recommend for still water fishing.

Great detail and movement. It’s not flashy, but it works well in calm waters. I’ve seen several trout take it after a slow strip. A solid addition to my fly box.

The pattern won IFTD 2018 Best of Show, and it’s easy to see why. I’ve used it in multiple lakes and it consistently draws fish. The subtle motion is perfect for early morning fishing.
