Umpua Fly Cathys Fleeing Crab
SKU: NFD9772
This crab is not completely new, that is obvious, being similar to the Rag Head style in thread color and body style. But Barry and Cathy have spent hours and hours casting to bones and permit in choice flats throughout the tropics.
So this version has had some changes made: longer Silli Legs tipped with bright orange (that will get some attention) and lots of marabou in two contrasting colors for extra motion.
This fly has been a success wherever it’s been fished. Subtle changes, great results. It has been proven effective for several years from Mexico to the Bahamas to Los Roques.

Umpua Fly Chewy’s Cyclops Chouinard Bonefish
SKU: NFD9773
“Chewy’s Cyclops is the pattern that started it all.
It was designed for Bahamas bonefish as a replacement for the Gotcha. As we all know, bonefish love the Gotcha, but the bulbus whistling beadchain eyes have always been the weak link.
The Cyclops lands with a fraction of the plop of a Gotcha, swims perfectly and now in sizes from #8 with a tiny 3mm bead on up to a #2 with a 4mm bead, can set up any bonefisherman with flies for all tides and situations.”

Umpua Fly Improved Merkin
SKU: NFD9775
In the early 1980’s permit were targeted with crab flies using round foam or epoxy bodies. By the mid 1980’s the late Del Brown and Captain Steve Huff designed the revolutionary Merkin crab which called for Aunt Lydia’s Sparkle Yarn tied perpendicular on the shank, #1 or 1/0 hooks and large lead barbell eyes. The yarn was trimmed to a trapezoid which reduced casting flutter and greatly improved the sink rate. Sandy Moret soon found that the jumbo bonefish of the Keys were fools for the same pattern by scaling down to #4, and switching the rubber legs from solid white with red tips to creamed colored rubber barred legs. Scores of bonefish over 12 pounds fell for this revision as did well over 100 permit on the larger versions.
As Aunt Lydia’s Sparkle Yarn became difficult to obtain, Sculpting Fiber has proved to be an excellent replacement. The Improved Merkin is a much welcomed addition to our growing inventory of innovative patterns. And who better to be in charge of the quality of these flies than our fly specialist himself? “Dave Student always tied thousands of the finest Merkins I had ever seen for over 20 years!”

Umpua Fly Lexo’s Pop Up Crab
SKU: NFD9776
“Of the myriad crab patterns that I have designed and that have been fished successfully, the “POP-UP CRAB” is arguably my best creation to-date. Done in the Del Brown Merkin Crab style and using H2O Fishient Sculpting Fibers as the body components, which in this designer’s opinion are by far the best materials for tying this style of crab and are also available in a superior color array. The three colors offered very effectively cover the complete global flats bottom color spectrum over which this pattern is to be fished and which also mimic the naturals subtle color variations (crab sub-species) which inhabit these specific venues.
Target species of the “POP-UP CRAB” are redfish, striped bass, permit and bonefish. The TAN variation should be used in mottled sand environments which often transitions to a marl bottom, the OLIVE variation mimics the Green Reef Crab, the prevalent crab species found to inhabit most grass covered flats such as those in Belizean, Honduran and other Caribbean waters, and finally the BLUE CRAB variation is meant to mimic the Blue Crab, the prevalent species inhabiting the Gulf and Atlantic coasts Also, the silicone legs used on the SAND, TAN and BLUE CRAB variations were personally developed by this designer and are being commercially produced by Living Rubber.
Aside from the spectral color offerings, the truly revolutionary aspect of the “POP-UP CRAB” is the incorporation of a 60 degree (swimming) jig hook to which the lead dumbbell weight is attached on the bottom of the shank bend which effectively lets the pattern balance vertically on this fulcrum and hop up and down from a pronated position when retrieved. This dynamic is impossible to create with the use of a 90 degree jig hook because this more acute angle causes the pattern to “drag” in a horizontal position on retrieve. The beauty of the dynamics of the 60 degree swimming jig hook is that when in the prone position while being retrieved, any subtle bottom contour will cause the fly to hop up to a horizontal position which causes the pattern to assume a defensive posture and appearance further “exciting” the predator instinct of the targeted species. The size #4 is meant to be used in shallow environs which potentially require a “softer” water entry and the size #2 should be used in deeper water in which a quicker sink rate is preferred and stealth is not a critical element.”
