Why fish Umpqua?

Flies for every species and every hatch

Umpqua ties dries, nymphs, emergers, Euro jig nymphs, streamers, bass bugs and saltwater flies in the sizes and colors anglers actually fish. The lineup includes proven patterns like the Chubby Chernobyl and designs from well-known tiers such as Lance Egan, so you can fill a box for trout, steelhead, bass or the flats in one place.

Hooks, beads and tools for the tying bench

Tyers can build the same flies with Umpqua U-Series and X-Series hooks, barbless competition jig hooks, slotted and standard tungsten beads, brass beads and Jig Bombs. Dream Stream and Dream Stream Plus tools cover scissors, bobbins, whip finishers, hackle pliers and complete tying tool kits.

UPG fly boxes

UPG boxes come with Power Grip foam, which Umpqua says is about 25% lighter than its silicone boxes, or Supreme Grip silicone for the most secure hold. Choose slim lightweight shells or waterproof IPX 6.5 shells with a latch closure, in Mini, Medium, Large and boat box sizes, with inserts for dries, nymphs, streamers and saltwater flies.

Streamside tools, LINK and tippet

  • RiverGrip: nippers, forceps and scissor clamps made from surgical-grade Japanese steel with double-dipped grips.
  • RiverRun: lightweight aluminum nippers and pliers with replaceable stainless blades that cut 8X to 80 lb line.
  • LINK: a magnetic system that docks fly patches, tools, floatant and tippet on your pack with no zingers to tangle.
  • Perform X and Deceiver: nylon and fluorocarbon tippet and leaders for trout, steelhead, bass and saltwater.
