Umpqua Bonefish Bitters Mathew Olive

Umpqua Fly Bonefish is a reliable choice when stalking spooky fish on clear, shallow flats. Tied to imitate small crustaceans, it sinks with a controlled, jigging action that convinces selective bonefish and similar saltwater species.

The Bitter Amber patterns offer a natural, sandy tone that blends well over light bottoms, while the Bitters Mathew Olive versions stand out on darker turtle grass and mixed substrates. The fly is weighted with discreet eyes, helping it get down quickly without creating a noisy splash on impact.

Durable materials, a low-fouling tail and a strong, corrosion‑resistant hook make this pattern suitable for repeated casting in demanding saltwater conditions. Sizes 6 and 8 let you match local forage and adjust to fish mood and water depth, making this a versatile addition to any saltwater fly box.
