Overview

The Umpqua Double Gonga in Tan is a meticulously crafted articulated streamer designed by renowned fly tyer Charlie Craven. This fly combines the best elements of traditional patterns like the Matuka and Wooly Bugger, resulting in a versatile and highly effective streamer for targeting large trout and other predatory fish.

Key features of the Double Gonga include a dense marabou tail that provides lifelike movement, a fuller wrapping of schlappen feathers to enhance profile and motion in the water, and lead eyes positioned on the underside of the hook to ensure the fly rides hook-down. The head is constructed using soft craft fur or Polar Fibre, creating a thick, flowing chenille that can be easily shaped and sinks quickly while shedding water on the back cast.

The articulated body, tied on a pair of 3xL #4 hooks, allows for independent movement between the front and rear sections, adding to the fly's realism. The Tan coloration offers a natural appearance, making it an excellent choice for imitating a variety of baitfish in different water conditions.Read More +
