Your flies deserve the highest quality boxes.
Umpqua Professional Guide (often abbreviated to "UPG") is a professional line of fly boxes and streamside accessories created for, and designed by, the professional guide and fly fisherman.
We know how valuable a good fly is — whether you've picked one up at the local fly shop, or labored for hours over your own pattern — UPG’s fly boxes will keep them all safe, dry, and secure. Our Pros know what’s needed in a good box when you're in the stream, wading the big rivers, or stalking bonefish on the flats. Each box is designed with a particular use in mind.
Umpqua Fly Boxes - Features & Benefits Guide
Micro-Slit Foam
Designed specifically with small flies in mind, micro-slit foam keeps the tiniest bugs on top of the foam allowing for easy in-and-out with fingers or hemostats. The slits are closely spaced to allow maximum capacity and freedom of placement.
FlyTrap Foam Sytem
FlyTrap foam's unique alternating slit placement eliminates conflict between fly tails and heads to allow for maximum capacity and usage of space. It is the primary reason our boxes have twice the capacity of most boxes on the market.
Mega-Slit, Extra Thick Foam
A perfect combination of extra-thick and dense foam with deep slits assures that your biggest flies will stay in place.
Magnetic Compartments
A great way to isolate used flies for drying and clean-up later or go-to flies for the day. If you have a fish spotted and he's forcing you to change flies, don't waste time trying to find a slot to drop your used fly in to, just throw it on the magnet and grab the next hopeful.
Zerust Corrosion Protection
This little golden beauty emits a "magic" vapour that coats all things metal and virtually eliminates rusty hooks. If your box is loaded, this tab could save you a small fortune in flies that you may otherwise need to replace due to rust.
Weather Proof
Each box has two complete molded silicon O-Rings to keep out Mother Nature, further enhancing the protection that your flies receive.
