Overview

The Umpqua Mini Hippie Stomper in Black is a scaled-down version of the original high-performance attractor pattern, designed to offer the same buoyancy and visibility in a more compact profile. This versatile dry fly mimics a wide range of terrestrials—from beetles and flying ants to small hoppers—while also working as an attractor in various conditions. Its low-profile foam body keeps the fly high and dry in rough water, while the white wing post enhances visibility against glare and mixed light conditions.

The black coloration gives it a silhouette that stands out sharply on the water surface, making it highly visible to fish in both clear and stained water. With rubber legs and reflective underbody flash, the Mini Hippie Stomper adds just enough motion and shimmer to attract curious trout in a range of water types. This pattern excels as a top fly in dry-dropper setups and is durable enough to withstand aggressive takes, especially in pocket water or along grassy banks.Read More +
