{"product_id":"umpqua-alaska-deluxe-fly-selection","title":"Umpqua Alaska Deluxe Fly Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Umpqua Alaska Deluxe Fly Selection is a professionally curated kit designed to tackle the unique challenges of Alaskan fishing. This box contains 16 essential patterns chosen to target trophy Rainbow Trout, Silver Salmon, Dolly Varden, and Grayling in the 49th state. It features a mix of heavy-duty hooks and proven attractors that stand up to powerful currents and aggressive fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Imitates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selection covers the primary food sources found in Alaskan rivers during the fishing season. It includes egg patterns to match the salmon spawn, flesh flies to simulate decaying protein, and large leech patterns that mimic swimming prey. The kit also features a mouse pattern to imitate small mammals crossing the river surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFish the egg and flesh patterns under a strike indicator with a dead-drift presentation to reach fish feeding near the bottom. Swing the large streamers and leeches across the current on a tight line to induce strikes from predatory fish. Skate the mouse pattern across the surface near banks or structure to draw explosive topwater attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen To Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this selection throughout the Alaskan fishing season, especially when salmon are present in the river system. The bright attractor patterns work well in glacial or high-water conditions where visibility is low. Switch to the natural-colored leeches or flesh flies when the water clears or when targeting educated fish in side channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe love this assortment because it eliminates the stress of guessing which flies to pack for a major trip. The flies are tied on premium, heavy-wire hooks that will not bend under the pressure of a heavy salmon or trout. It offers a perfect balance of subsurface food patterns and exciting topwater options like the Whitlock's Mouserat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Oregon Cheese, size 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Fluorescent Orange, size 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Pink Champagne, size 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlaska Flash Fly Purple, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlaska Flash Fly Silver\/Red, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Sucking Crystal Leech Black, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEgg Sucking Crystal Leech Purple, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Bead Crystal Bugger Black, size 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Bead Crystal Bugger Olive, size 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowell's Starlite Leech Pink, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowell's Starlite Leech Purple, size 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopsicle, size 1\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManhattan Beach, size 1\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowgirl, size 1\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlesh Fly, size 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhitlock's Mouserat, size 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComparisons\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUmpqua Alaska Deluxe Fly Selection vs. Umpqua Essential Trout Fly Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Alaska Deluxe Selection features large, reinforced hooks and patterns specifically designed for the size and power of northern fish.
