Back Flop Jig

The Back Flop Jig is a go-to streamer designed for aggressive presentations to attract trout. Created by Umpqua, this fly features a body crafted from squirrel fur, which provides lifelike movement in the water while remaining heavy and streamlined enough to sink quickly and reach trout in deeper zones. Its compact design allows it to invade a trout's space with a minimal profile, ensuring it catches attention in both shallow and deeper waters. The Back Flop Jig is highly versatile, allowing anglers to experiment with different retrieval techniques. Whether jigging vertically, pulsing horizontally with the rod tip, or stripping, this fly has proven to elicit strong responses from trout across various water types and conditions.

Try Multiple Presentations in One Cast: During a single drift, alternate between jigging, stripping, and pulsing to simulate different prey movements. This tactic covers multiple potential feeding behaviors and can provoke a reaction from fish that might not respond to just one type of retrieve.
