Leaders & Tippet Material

From Umpqua Feather Merchants

At High Country Flies we've always enjoyed Umpqua's leader and tippet materials.

Extruded from the finest polymers to exacting taper tolerances – for ideal strength to diameter ratios. And packaged in recycled paper that blocks all UV rays and extends the life of the leader (a lesson lost on some leader manufacturers).

 

 

 

Leaders


Umpqua Trout Leaders
Designed for most trout and panfish angling, trout leaders from Umpqua are soft and very supple. They easily turn over dries,  nymphs and streamers and (in the proper lengths and tippet diameter) are ideal for spring creek style fishing. Knotless.

 

The new Weight-Forward leader from Umpqua lets you cast large flies with greater ease and accuracy, especially in windy conditions. The long, heavy butt section maximizes the energy transfer from fly line to fly, yielding a much stronger turn over even at the end of long casts.

We like these leaders for beginning casters and anyone in strong winds. Knotless.

Tippet Material


Umpqua Tippet Material

Soft and very supple, Umpqua tippet material is ideal for spring creek style fishing. Umpqua offers the best diameter to strength ratio available. This tippet material is resin-impregnated to resist breakdown from water and UV rays. It has an olive tint, which makes it difficult for fish to see. The interlocking spools convert into a tangle-free leader dispenser. Use with all Umpqua leaders.

Not as abrasion resistant as Dai-Riki Tippet Material.
