Umpqua Iron Sally

Umpqua Iron Sally is a compact tungsten nymph designed to imitate small yellow sally stoneflies and various pale nymphs. Its slim profile and heavy bead help it cut quickly through the current, getting you down to feeding fish without adding extra split shot.

The pattern works well in both rivers and streams when trout are holding close to the bottom, especially in clear water where a natural look matters. The segmented body and fine tail give a lifelike silhouette, while subtle flash adds just enough attraction without spooking wary fish.

Fish Umpqua Iron Sally as part of a Euro nymphing set-up, under an indicator, or in a traditional nymph rig with a heavier fly. It also functions well as a dropper below a dry fly during stonefly hatches. A reliable all-round nymph for anglers who want a fast-sinking, realistic stonefly imitation in their box.
