The Umpqua Special is a storied Oregon steelhead fly — a red-and-orange body with a white bucktail wing, named for the river where it earned its reputation on summer-runs.
The warm body and bright wing make a high-visibility profile that swings beautifully through classic runs, drawing grabs from steelhead in clear and lightly-stained coastal water.
Best for:
- Swinging for summer and winter steelhead
- Clear to lightly-stained coastal rivers
- Fishing a bright, traditional wet-fly swing
📌 Pro Tip: Fish it on a classic down-and-across swing — mend to control speed and let the Umpqua Special sweep slowly through the heart of the run.
