Description

Mirror Mysis (Clear) – Umpqua Mysis Shrimp Pattern for Colorado Tailwaters Sizes: 18, 20, 22 The Mirror Mysis is a sleek, modern mysis shrimp imitation designed specifically for tailwater trout fisheries where mysis are a major food source —especially in Colorado. Tied by Umpqua Signature Tyer Mathew Howell , this pattern blends realism, durability, and high hook-up performance into one deadly little package. Built on the new Tiemco 201R black nickel hook , the Mirror Mysis offers a clean profile with excellent hooking power. The clear D-Rib body creates a perfectly segmented, translucent abdomen that closely matches the natural look of a real mysis shrimp. Dark, prominent eyes and a UV resin-coated head finish the fly with a lifelike silhouette, while subtle Krystal Flash legs add just enough movement and sparkle to get noticed without spooking picky fish. If you fish tailwaters where mysis shrimp are present, this is an absolute must-have pattern.

Field Notes

This is a realistic mysis shrimp imitation for trout in tailwater fisheries, especially where mysis are a key forage item. Fish it in clear water and around feeding windows when trout are keyed in on tiny natural prey; a dead-drift presentation is the most practical approach.

Pros

  • Highly realistic translucent profile
  • Good for picky tailwater trout
  • Durable UV resin head
  • Strong hook-up potential

Cons

  • Very small sizes can be difficult to fish and tie on
  • Best when trout are specifically feeding on mysis
