Stu’s Tube Mouse – Tying Instructions

How to Tie a Tube Mouse Fly

We dig tube flies, and we really love catching big Alaskan trout on mouse patterns. So, naturally we think mouse patterns tied on tubes are pretty darn cool. One of the most creative (and fishy) tube mice we’ve seen is that pictured above, created by our good friend and professional fly tyer, Stuart Foxall. We thought…

New Study: How Often Do Trout and Grayling Eat Mice?

Grayling on Mice at Alaska West

Mousing for Trout – Try a Strip Set

Strip Set When Mousing

  On our Alaskan rivers, targeting big leopard rainbows with gaudy rodent imitations is not only visually appealing, but also very productive at certain times of the year.  Takes can be ferocious and often unexpected.

19 Reasons to Fish a Mouse Fly

Retrieving the Mouse Fly

Swimming a Mouse Fly

Mousing for trout in western Alaska is about as cool as it gets. We’re not talking about strapping on the headlamp for night time browns or waiting for a “mouse hatch” every seven years (although they both sound awesome as well!), we’re talking about chucking big gnarly mammal imitations day in and day out to…
