Overview

The Umpqua Dancin' Ricky in Royal is a meticulously crafted foam dry fly designed to imitate a variety of terrestrial insects, including hoppers and stoneflies. Its low-riding profile, with the body and legs hanging slightly in the water, creates a realistic silhouette that entices fish to strike. The buoyant wings and thorax ensure the fly remains afloat, even in turbulent waters.​

This pattern is the brainchild of signature tyer Andrew Grillos, who named it after his friend Rick, known for his spirited dance moves. The Dancin' Ricky is available in multiple sizes and color combinations, allowing anglers to match the hatch or experiment with different presentations.​

Constructed with durable materials, the Dancin' Ricky withstands multiple strikes and maintains its shape over time. When treated with a quality floatant, it offers extended floatation, reducing the need for frequent reapplication. Whether targeting trout in rivers or streams, this versatile fly is a valuable addition to any angler's arsenal.Read More +
