Overview

The Umpqua Dump Truck in Purple/Black is a do-it-all foam terrestrial that rides high on the water and floats all day. A foam layer under the body and a big poly wing make it a durable hopper and stonefly imitation that doubles as a bomb-proof attractor — fished solo or as the dry in a dry-dropper rig. Tied on a size 8, 10 or 12 hook for everything from big-water freestones to small backcountry creeks.

"The Dump Truck was born in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem on my quest for the do-it-all terrestrial. From big water freestones to small backcountry creeks, this thing is a workhorse that lives up to its name. It's my go-to fly for imitating hoppers and stoneflies, as well as a bomb proof attractor pattern. With a foam layer under the body and a big poly wing, the Dump Truck is a durable fly that rides high on the water and floats all day. Whether you run it solo or on a dry-dropper rig, no trout stands a chance."
