Umpqua Fly Rabbid Strip Streamer Osowski is a versatile rabbit-strip streamer designed by signature tyer Kyle Osowski for targeting smallmouth bass, but it is equally at home in trout water. Tied on a strong hook in size 2, it handles hard takes from aggressive fish in both rivers and stillwaters.
The slim, mobile profile and soft rabbit strips give the fly a lifelike pulsating action on every strip and pause. It fishes well in fast rocky areas, across current seams around boulders, or swung down and across. Long, slow strips with pauses in eddies and pools keep the fly in the strike zone and trigger takes from following fish.
Available in several proven colour combinations, you can match local baitfish or create a strong silhouette in coloured water. Fish the Rabbid Strip Streamer on a floating or sink-tip fly line, adjust your leader length, and experiment with retrieve speed – there is really no wrong way to fish it.
