Overview

The Umpqua One Armed Bandit in sand is a distinctive saltwater pattern that’s earned a strong following for its ability to entice bonefish, permit, and other flats species in challenging conditions. Its unique single-leg design gives it an erratic, tumbling action on the drop, mimicking the vulnerable movements of small crabs or shrimp caught in the current. The sandy tan coloration blends naturally into light-bottom flats, making it an ideal choice for spooky fish in clear, shallow water. Tied with durable materials, weighted eyes, and a weed guard, this fly sinks quickly to the strike zone while maintaining a realistic profile. Whether you’re stalking tailing fish or blind casting along a channel edge, the One Armed Bandit offers a proven combination of stealth, movement, and durability for serious saltwater anglers.Read More +
