Umpqua Fly Pike Snake Black 3/0 is a large-profile pike fly designed to trigger strikes from big predators in both shallow bays and deeper structures. The long, snake-style body creates a strong, sinuous movement on straight retrieves, figure-eight moves and jerks, making it highly visible and easy to track for pike.
The articulated construction and soft materials allow the fly to pulse and coil even at slow speeds, ideal when fish are cautious. Tied on a robust 3/0 hook, it handles hard takes and powerful runs from large pike and other predators. The colour options cover two key scenarios: a dark Black silhouette for low light and stained water, and a contrasting Red/White pattern that stands out in clearer conditions.
Fish it with a wire trace and a suitable fly line for pike, such as an intermediate or sink tip, to work different depths. Whether you strip it quickly over weed beds or crawl it along drop-offs, this fly offers a reliable option when you want a strong presence in the water.
