Umpqua Fly Kreelex Minnow
SKU: NFD9671
Story goes, the idea of the Kreelex Minnow came to Chuck one night in a dream. When he woke up he rushed directly to his vise to begin to tie the pattern before he forgot what he dreamt about. Back then Chuck claimed he slept in the nude, thus the very first Kreelex Minnow was tied whilst buck naked.
This all happened prior to a guided trip down to Chile. Chuck brought the newly developed pattern down there with him and quickly destroyed the few flies he had due to the trout’s voracious takes on the new, highly attractive fly. With no materials available they found the next best thing, potato chip bags. They cut up the foil bags into thin strips to try to immolate the material used for the Kreelex but found no success in replicating the pattern. The next trip down south Chuck made sure he had plenty of the fly to get him through the stay.
Before the Kreelex got its name, Chuck was calling it the Rolex Minnow due to the fly’s flashy shine much like a Rolex watch. On a trip a client told Chuck that Rolex would be quick to sue over the choice of name so “Kreelex” was born after the original material used, Kreinik Flash.
The Kreelex Minnow is a deadly pattern from trout to bass, redfish and more. Tied on a 3 or 4x long streamer hook with Dazl-eyes and two colors of kreinik flash this streamer will be a great addition to any box from the swamps to the streams.

Umpqua Fly Kvichak Killer Anderson
SKU: NFD9743
“This pattern came about many years ago when I saw a Dolly Lama fly, but I wasn’t sure how to tie it.
This is what I came up with and it works extremely well. It has great movement and a great profile and is easier to cast than a Dolly Llama.
It should produce just as well in warm water environments as it does in cold water streams and lakes.”

Umpqua Fly Mayhem Crab Chicone
SKU: NFD9738
“My Mayhem Mole Crab pattern has two monofilament keels weighted heavily with tungsten beads. This helps get the fly down to the sand quickly. The added weight also aids in creating a disturbance in the sand when the fly is stripped.
This puff of sand is crucial when imitating the crab’s defense mechanism of burying itself in the sand.
The females of the species are larger in size, approximately the size of your thumb, and have a bright orange egg sac that is located on the underside of their rounded gray body.
For predators, like birds and fish within eyeshot, this pronounced pop of orange is a dead giveaway to their location.
For this pattern, I used a small tuft of bonefish pink Finnish raccoon to represent the egg sac.
I like to use natural materials like fur whenever possible because they bring not only vivid color as well as some movement to the fly.”

Umpqua Fly McFly Crab Chicone
SKU: NFD9653
“The McFly Crab is a simple pattern that can be easily modified on the water and fished effectively anywhere.
I like the Ultra Micro Chenille legs because they provide a little more durability, and they tend to hold color better than rubber.
This provides a blank canvas that can be easily colored to mimic the vast majority of crabs you will encounter.
The materials that comprise this pattern are easily trimmed on the go if you need to shrink this pattern down for picky permit.
Contrary to most conventional crab patterns, it is weighted with lengths of non-lead wire lashed to the shank rather than with lead eyes or a beaded keel.
I wanted the fly to come down on the water softly, without the splat, and then to sink more uniformly like a real, unthreatened crab rather than plummeting to the bottom.
The second reason I opted for a wire weighting system is that it gives you a greater ability to tailor the amount of weight to the size of the fly.
With the wire, you are not bound to two or three different sizes of lead eyes that may be slightly too much or too little weight.
And the weighted wire foundation can be endlessly tweaked for varying water depths.”
