Umpqua Fly Deep Cleaner Jigged Bond Coffee/Black in size 8 is built for fishing close to the bottom when stoneflies are on the menu. The jig hook helps the fly ride hook-point up, reducing snags while letting it bounce naturally from rock to rock. The mop-style tail stays slightly lifted and buoyant, imitating a stone rolling and tumbling along the riverbed instead of dragging stiffly.
This is a strong choice during Salmonfly and other big stonefly hatches, especially before the dry fly bite really starts. Fish it as the bottom fly in a nymph rig and pair it with an original Deep Cleaner above when you want a classic "Double Deep Cleaner" set-up. It sinks with confidence, moves in a very believable way and keeps you right where the fish are feeding.
