Umpqua Gummy Minnow Brown

Umpqua Fly Gummy Minnow’s is a highly realistic baitfish imitation built from soft SiliSkin, designed to tempt fish that have seen too many traditional flies. The supple, flexible body gives the fly a lifelike feel in the fish’s mouth, often turning followers into solid hook-ups.

The translucent material lets light pass through, creating a natural, three-dimensional profile that closely mimics small baitfish and micro-baits. Thanks to the self-sticking SiliSkin, the fly is surprisingly durable and can be pulled, stretched and even repaired on the water by simply pressing torn parts back together.

Originally developed for situations where predators feed on tiny, see-through prey, this pattern has proven effective for species such as False Albacore, stripers chasing anchovies and silversides, and various panfish. Available in several colours and sizes, it covers a wide range of clear-water and pressured-fish scenarios where realism really matters.
