Umpqua Chrion Pupa

The Umpqua Chiron Pupa is a highly effective nymph pattern specifically designed to emulate the chironomid—or non-biting midge—pupa, a primary forage in lakes and slow-moving rivers. Expertly tied with a realistic, slightly curved profile and key flash materials, it convincingly replicates the insect's natural look, including the visible gas bubble it develops just before emerging. This durable fly is a proven winner when suspended under an indicator or slowly retrieved, making it a critical addition for stillwater anglers targeting large, selective trout.
