Umpqua Dragon Bond Sculpin

Umpqua Fly Dragon Bond is an articulated trout streamer designed by Signature Tyer John Bond to trigger aggressive takes from larger fish. With a compact but bulky head and a long marabou tail, it pushes water and creates a twisting, pulsing movement that stands out in both clear and coloured rivers.

The combination of thick fur, marabou and subtle articulation gives the fly a lively swimming action on strip, swing or dead drift. Fun beads and added details give extra flash and a distinct profile that often convinces pressured trout to commit.

Fish the Dragon on a sink tip or full sinking line for deep runs, or on a floating line with a longer leader in shallower pools and pocket water. Vary your retrieve with short strips, pauses and lifts to make the tail kick and the head wobble like a fleeing baitfish or sculpin.

Available in a range of proven colours, Umpqua Fly Dragon Bond covers many situations, from dark profiles for low light to lighter shades for clear water. Ready-tied by Umpqua in consistent quality, it is a practical choice when you want a modern, high-movement streamer for serious trout hunting.
