Umpqua 409 Yeager Yellow - #12

Umpqua 409 Yeager Yellow - #12 is a smart choice whenever small yellow stoneflies or caddis are on the menu. The slim foam body sits low in the surface film, which makes it believable to wary trout, while the bright colour and wing keep it easy to track in riffles and pocket water. The 409 jig hook helps the fly ride correctly and grab in the corner of the jaw more often than a standard dry-fly hook.

Use it on freestone streams during late spring and summer when Yellow Sallies are hatching, or as an attractor dry above a nymph in a dry‑dropper rig. The #12 size covers a wide range of situations, from swift pocket water to smoother glides, and holds up well to repeated fish thanks to durable materials and tight tying.
