Overview

The Umpqua Matchstick Quill Jig in Olive is a precision-tied nymph designed for finesse and effectiveness in both Euro and traditional nymphing setups. Featuring a slim, quill-wrapped body that imitates a wide range of aquatic nymphs, this pattern excels in clear, pressured water where trout key in on the most subtle details. The olive coloration mimics the natural tones of mayflies and small stoneflies, while the tungsten bead head ensures rapid sink rate to get the fly into the strike zone quickly.

The jig-style hook enhances hook-up ratios and minimizes snags when fishing along the bottom. This fly is perfect for anglers who demand precision, especially when fishing slow-moving tailwaters or deep runs in freestone rivers. Its slender profile allows it to cut through current effortlessly, making it a go-to choice when stealth and efficiency are critical. Whether paired with other technical nymphs or fished alone, the Matchstick Quill Jig brings a realistic look and consistent performance to your sub-surface arsenal.Read More +
