Umpqua Trasher Hurst is a compact, high‑impact streamer designed for fast, aggressive fishing when predators are locked on to small baitfish. Tied on a strong hook with a dense profile, it pushes water and gets noticed in both clear and coloured conditions. The fly sinks quickly, making it suitable for rivers, streams and deeper stillwaters.
The slightly bulky head gives a pulsing movement, while the slim tail reacts to every strip of the fly line. Fish it with short, sharp strips for an escaping‑baitfish action, or slow figure‑of‑eight for a more subtle presentation. Trasher Hurst is a solid choice for trout, perch, chub and other predators that respond to a compact, meaty silhouette.
Use it on a floating, intermediate or sink‑tip line depending on depth and current. Ideal as a main searching pattern in new waters, or as a change‑fly when fish follow but do not commit to larger streamers.
