Umpqua Fly Freaky Frog is a surface fly designed to trigger aggressive strikes from pike, perch, bass and other predators that hunt in the topwater. The realistic frog profile combined with a noisy, pushing action makes it stand out when fishing over weed beds, lilies and shallow structures.
The fly rides hook-up to reduce snags and can be worked with short pops or a steady retrieve to imitate a fleeing frog. Tied on a strong size 2 hook, it handles hard strikes and powerful runs, while the soft body materials give a lifelike movement and silhouette.
Fish the Freaky Frog on a floating fly line and a short, strong leader. It is a practical choice when you want to cover shallow bays, reed edges and other classic frog water, especially during the warmer months when predators are focused on surface prey.
