Umpqua Gotcha Pearl

Umpqua Fly Gotcha Pearl is a proven bonefish pattern that has earned its reputation on clear, shallow flats. The slim pearl body, understated flash and weighted eyes help the fly sink quickly to the strike zone while still landing quietly, reducing the risk of spooking wary fish.

This fly imitates small shrimp and other crustaceans that bonefish regularly tail after on sand and turtle grass. The transparent, pearly profile works especially well in bright conditions and clear water, where more aggressive patterns can appear too bold.

Tied on a strong, saltwater-resistant hook, the Umpqua Fly Gotcha Pearl can handle long runs and powerful bonefish. Fish it with short, sharp strips, pause it when a fish follows, and be ready when the line comes tight. A reliable choice for any saltwater fly box, especially for anglers targeting bonefish on Bahamian and tropical flats.
