Finally!…someone has made a box for us Colorado folk. Here in the Rocky Mountains our fish demand small bugs that are difficult to arrange in a traditional fly box. But Umpqua has done it with the UPG Midge box. Here is why it is so great:
- Double sided for high capacity
- Double slitted foam on each row
- Clear (so you can see what is inside)
- Rust Proof
- Waterproof
- Magnetic (if you are lazy like me, often I just want to toss bugs into it)
- Thin profile (it doesn’t need to be thick to hold midges
- Not too pricey…only $36
This is the perfect box for midges and other nymphs. I would not put large dries or hoppers inside of it, there is not enough thickness to accommodate large dry flies. A great compliment to my larger fly boxes.
