Umpqua Gummy Tarpon Worm #1/0

Umpqua Fly Gummy Tarpon Worm is a slim, lifelike tarpon pattern designed for situations when fish are feeding selectively on worms and other narrow-profile prey. The translucent body and subtle movement in the water give a very natural presentation that convinces pressured fish in clear conditions.

Tied on a robust Size 1/0 saltwater hook, this fly handles hard takes from tarpon and other powerful species without bending out. The compact profile casts well on modern fly lines and allows accurate shots at cruising or rolling fish, even in windy coastal conditions.

Use the Gummy Tarpon Worm on flats, channels and around mangroves where tarpon are tracking small invertebrates. Fish it with slow strips, figure‑of‑eight retrieves or let it drift naturally in the current to trigger takes from cautious fish. A useful pattern to keep in your saltwater fly box when the standard baitfish imitations are ignored.
