Overview

The Umpqua Detroit Mop City in Cream is a distinctive mop fly pattern designed by signature tyer Daryl Eakins. This fly stands out with its tapered and curved tail, breathing thorax, and a collar and wing composed of feathers and dubbing, creating an irresistible profile that mimics aquatic grubs or crane fly larvae.​

Available with small and medium lead eyes, the Detroit Mop City offers versatility for both still water and river fishing. The lead eyes facilitate a swift descent, making it effective in reaching deeper feeding zones. Despite the weight, a gentle pendulum cast with a drag-and-drop finish ensures optimal presentation.​

In river settings, the Detroit Mop City excels as a point fly in tight-line nymphing setups, especially in deep runs with low visibility. Its design and weight make it a reliable choice for anglers employing euro-nymphing techniques.Read More +
