Umpqua Gotcha Lead Eye Pearl

Umpqua Gotcha Lead Eye Pearl is a renowned saltwater fly designed for technical fishing on flats and shallow coastal waters. The lead eyes give the fly a fast sinking rate and a distinct jigging action that triggers takes from pressured fish.

The transparent, pearl-tinted body imitates shrimps and small baitfish, making it a versatile pattern for bonefish, sea trout, sea bass and other inshore predators. Tied on a corrosion-resistant saltwater hook, it handles repeated contact with sand, coral and rocks without losing its shape.

Fish the Umpqua Gotcha Lead Eye Pearl with short, sharp strips and pauses to make it dart and drop towards the bottom. It works equally well on floating or intermediate fly lines, and is a solid choice both for travel to tropical flats and for local coastal fly fishing in Europe.
