Overview

The Umpqua Flushfloater Stone in the Salmonfly colorway is a high-floating, ultra-visible dry fly designed to tackle the demands of big water and big hatches. Crafted specifically for the annual salmonfly hatch, one of the most anticipated and aggressive dry fly events of the season, this pattern excels in fast, heavy current where more delicate flies struggle to stay upright. Built on a durable, low-profile foam body, the Flushfloater rides flush with the surface film—just like the natural insects—while still maintaining enough buoyancy to support a dropper or resist drowning in turbulent seams.

Its realistic silhouette mimics the bulk and movement of adult salmonflies as they drift helplessly across the water, often bumping and fluttering in the current. A two-tone wing profile and high-vis indicator ensure you won’t miss a strike, even when casting across fast, roiling water. Rubber legs provide critical motion and surface disturbance, helping this pattern not only match the hatch but call fish from nearby holding lies. Whether used solo or in a dry-dropper rig, the Flushfloater Stone is a reliable performer during late spring and early summer stonefly activity across the West.Read More +
