Umpqua Nitro Caddis Pupa Olive 2 Pack

Nymphs and wet flies are an extremely popular category of fly patterns, fished below the water surface and designed to imitate insects and worms. A wide variety of fish species can be caught using these patterns, including trout, bass, crappie, sunfish, bluegill, and carp. Midge and emerger fly patterns are designed to imitate the small subsurface and emerging insects in rivers and lakes, often representing an early stage of life for flies that lay eggs in the water. These patterns can be extremely effective if fished correctly, either on their own or by tying them off the hook of a dry fly pattern. The dry-dropper technique, where a midge is tied 12-24 inches below the dry fly, can be particularly productive, with a little split shot in between to fish the patterns at different depths.

Umpqua flies have a long-standing reputation for creating quality, creative flies constructed from the very best materials available. Each Umpqua fly is skillfully hand-tied with great precision, offering anglers the best possible fishing flies. Umpqua's fly patterns are not only second to none in quality, but they are also highly durable. For over 40 years, Umpqua fishermen have designed unique flies, offering anglers hundreds of patterns to choose from.

When targeting trout, it is essential to match the hatch by inspecting the insects in the water and selecting a pattern that closely resembles them. Emergers are generally fished like a dry fly on the surface or water film, just below the surface. This approach can be incredibly effective, particularly when the hatch is centered around caddis flies in the pupa life stage.

The attention to detail and commitment to quality that Umpqua brings to their fly tying is evident in the end product. Each fly is meticulously constructed, ensuring durability and effectiveness on the water. Umpqua's reputation as a leader in the fly-fishing industry is well-deserved, as they continue to push the boundaries of fly design and production, offering anglers a wide range of innovative and reliable patterns to choose from.
