Overview

The Umpqua GT Triple Double in Black is a tactical nymph pattern designed for maximum sink rate, visibility, and underwater realism—all critical features for effective Euro-nymphing and tightline presentations. Originally developed by George Daniel and refined through years of competitive and guide-tested fishing, this pattern is built to get deep fast and stay in the feeding lane. The black coloration provides excellent contrast in a wide range of water clarities and lighting conditions, making it especially effective in low light, off-color water, or during early and late hatch windows.

The GT Triple Double features three prominent segmentation zones on the abdomen that create a natural taper and enhanced durability. Its slim body and heavy tungsten bead help it punch through surface turbulence, while the jig hook ensures it rides point-up, reducing bottom snags and improving hook-up ratios. The pattern’s minimal flash and muted coloration make it a smart choice for selective fish, particularly in high-pressure environments where subtlety can be the difference between a refusal and a strike. Whether used as a lead fly in a two-nymph rig or fished solo in pocket water and seams, the GT Triple Double is a dependable workhorse in any modern nymphing setup.Read More +
