Overview

The Umpqua Big Fat Angie is a meticulously crafted terrestrial fly pattern developed by renowned fly tyer Charlie Craven. Designed to serve as a versatile attractor, it effectively imitates a variety of winged insects such as ants, beetles, and hoppers. This fly offers a more realistic and refined alternative to traditional foam patterns, making it an indispensable addition to any angler's fly box.​

Key features include a double-wing design made from macramé yarn, providing substantial surface area that enhances buoyancy and ensures high visibility on the water's surface. The incorporation of double span flex legs adds dynamic movement and realism, effectively enticing predatory fish. A chunky foam head allows the fly to skate or twitch rather than submerge when mended, and the curved hook design positions the body low in the water, maintaining a natural silhouette that remains enticing to fish even in challenging conditions.​

Available in a range of colors—including Black, Cinnamon, Gold, Olive, and Purple—and sizes 8, 10, 12, and 14, the Big Fat Angie can be tailored to match local insect activity and fishing conditions. Its durable construction withstands multiple strikes, making it a reliable choice for anglers seeking a high-performance terrestrial fly.Read More +
