The dual-slotted Fly Trap foam inserts offer the most fly capacity of any
water-resistant fly box. See-through covers allow for easy fly identification.
One-finger push button opening on both lids allow for easy single-side access. A
recessed gasket on each side of the fly leaf creates a proper seal – eliminating
water damage to flies.

On The Water Review
Models Tested Large, Medium, Small Fly
Boxes
The UPG or better known as Umpqua
Professional Guide Fly Boxes are new for 2010.
They are lightweight yet extremely sturdy but
then again you always get quality when you
purchase an Umpqua product.
 The
UPG line is available in three different sizes
and each size has a different color for easy
identification. The large box holds up to 732
flies, the medium box holds up to 508 flies, and
the small box holds up to 274 flies. We liked
the fact that the case has enough clearance for
large flies and will not crush dry fly hackles.
The boxes are see-through and offered in
different colors allowing quick identification.
The boxes feature the Flytrap Foam System. Which
incorporates precut slits into the foam
preventing the foam from getting destroyed from
constantly inserting and removing flies from the
foam. The lids also feature a rubber gasket
making the UPG water resistant. We tried several
times to penetrate water into the fly box by
splashing as well as submerging the fly boxes in
water. The inside remained totally dry after
each attempt!
Each box has two lids so access to your flies
could not be any easier! The push button to open
the fly box can easily be executed one-handed.
We highly recommend the Umpqua Professional
Guide Fly Boxes, key features are water
resistant, the Flytrap system, lightweight
design, and the dual lids.
