Dry flies are designed to be fished on the top of the water. Dry flies float either on their own, or with the assisstance of a floatant such as silicon based gel, or dry fly shake. They can be fished in rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes alike. Many fish will rise the surface to inspect a dry fly and decide if they want to strike at it or not. Sometimes it is helpful to fish a dry fly on the surface with a subsurface pattern tied on to the hook of the dry fly pattern with 12-18 inches of tippet between them. This way if the fish doesn't like the looks of the dry fly, then you have a second chance at a strike with the subsurface pattern. Umpqua flies have a long standing reputation for creating quality, creative flies that are constructed of the very best materials available. Each Umpqua fly is skillfully hand-tied with great precision to offer you the very best fishing flies possible. Umpqua's fly patterns are not only second to none in quality, but they are also very durable. For over 40 years, Umpqua fishermen have designed unique flies that offer you hundreds of patterns to choose from.

Midge and emerger fly patterns are designed to imitate the small subsurface and emerging insects in rivers and lakes. Midges and emergers usually represent an early stage of life for flies that lay eggs in the water. Often very tiny in size, these patterns...
