- Umpqua hooks are sus | The North American Fly Fishing Forum - sponsored . . .
Umpqua also has a "fly" hook that has 3 barbs, ( They call it the Triple Threat) and VMC introduced that same type of hook It's probable that Umpqua is having their brand of hooks made by a different manufacturer, ( maybe VMC )or even possibly multiple manufacturers
- Your favorite fly boxes? Not a fan of UPG LT’s
I’m curious what your favorite fly boxes are I bought some of the Umpqua UPG LT boxes, and this may go against popular option, but I don’t like them The flies are too hard to get in and out of the boxes Good advertising though! The reason i went with the umpqua was because i wanted some thinner, that was the main idea
- Chest Pack? | The North American Fly Fishing Forum - sponsored by . . .
I can fit two large sized CF boxes and two large sized Umpqua boxes in the main compartment The "waterproof zipper" isn't such and has cost me a handful of cans of copenhagen I sewed a velcro patch on top and put a fly patch thing on there
- Tiemco Hook Shortage? | The North American Fly Fishing Forum . . .

- Favorite fly boxes | The North American Fly Fishing Forum - sponsored . . .
I don't understand the lack of proper compartment (individual door) boxes available today Seems like an opportunity for somebody to come out with something I carry the C F, but they're awfully thick Tacky only makes single sided boxes, unless you go the Orvis route The Umpqua are super heavy and the slits are a little wonky
- Problems with New Fishpond Tacky Fly Boxes?
For Day Trips the Cliffs Super Days Worth is a winner, as is the Bugger Barn for larger offerings The Umpqua's, though heavier, are bulletproof and the larger ones hold an insane amount of flies (think 750-1000) I have found using a mixture of the boxes (not by just one maker) has proven to best meet my needs
- Dai riki hooks? | The North American Fly Fishing Forum - sponsored by . . .
Ive tied with allen, tiemco, daiichi, Dai riki, and umpqua I honestly haven't really noticed a difference in any of them I prefer the umpqua U series, simply because they are easy to get locally and they come in 50 packs for close to the same price as other brands 25 packs Used dozens of bags and only ever had one bad hook
