Umpqua Tide Rider Olive #6

Umpqua Fly Tide Rider is a proven baitfish pattern designed for sea-run Dolly Varden, coastal Cutthroat and big river trout. Its slim profile and natural movement make it highly convincing when stripped or swung through likely holding water.

The fly combines a prominent, realistic eye with grizzly hackle that suggests parr marks and distressed baitfish, giving clear visual triggers in both clear and slightly coloured water. The Olive and Brown colour options cover a wide range of baitfish situations in coastal estuaries and river systems.

Tied on a strong, reliable hook, Tide Rider handles hard fights from powerful fish and is suitable for both freshwater and salt/brackish environments. Fish it on a floating or intermediate line, with varied retrieve speeds, to search for active fish along drop-offs, seams and structure.
