No surprise here, fishermen have been using mouse fly (and lure) patterns for years, because trout and other gamefish routinely eat field mice, voles, and shrews that fall into creeks.

Wow! No, I am not turned off of trout. Or salmon. Or basically anything that lives in the sea.

FWIW, 48 cm = about 19 inches (a “fairly small” trout :-) ).

"But perhaps a nest by the river eroded, dumping all of the shrews into the water where this rainbow trout likely came away feeling like a lottery winner."

Family Soricidae. Shrews can swim, and even swim under water, sometimes in groups. I learned this while getting my undergrad zoology degree. Wonder why the biologists didn't surmise this.
