Overview

The Umpqua Jungle Junkie in Fire Tiger is a bold, high-profile predator streamer engineered to tempt aggressive fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Built with large gamefish in mind, this articulated pattern features a vibrant and aggressive color scheme—bright chartreuse, orange, and black bars—that mimics peacock bass, juvenile tarpon forage, or oversized baitfish. The Fire Tiger coloration triggers reaction strikes from apex predators, making it ideal for use in stained or tannic waters where visibility is reduced.

Constructed with flowing synthetic fibers, long hackles, and durable components, the Jungle Junkie maintains a full-bodied presence in the water while remaining easy to cast for its size. The movement is enhanced by the articulated body, allowing the fly to pulse, kick, and dart with each strip, imitating wounded prey. Designed by fly-tying legend Jeff Currier, this pattern is specifically crafted to provoke large, aggressive species such as peacock bass, golden dorado, tigerfish, pike, and musky. Whether you're fishing South American rivers or local predator-filled lakes, the Jungle Junkie is built to deliver bold presentations and heart-stopping strikes.Read More +
