Overview

The Umpqua Micro Mayfly Tungsten in Olive is a finely tuned nymph designed for anglers who demand high performance from their flies, especially when targeting trout feeding on small mayfly nymphs. This pattern features a slim, realistic profile tied with olive-hued materials to closely resemble various olive-bodied mayflies. The addition of a tungsten bead gives this fly excellent weight for a rapid descent, allowing it to reach the strike zone efficiently—even in faster or deeper water conditions.

The fly's compact design, paired with its tungsten head, makes it ideal for Euro nymphing and tight-line techniques where quick presentation and strike detection are crucial. Its subtle color and lifelike silhouette are especially effective when fish are pressured or feeding selectively. Whether drifting through a riffle or bouncing along the bottom of a clear spring creek, this pattern maintains a convincing presence that frequently draws strikes.Read More +
