Umpqua

"Similar to many of its predecessors, like the SeaDucer and DT Special, it’s tied extremely sparse with just a few materials. The difference is that this bug is entirely synthetic—no wrestling hard to manage feathers that tend to twist or spin on the shank. The palmered brushes give this pattern a cylindrical shape that moves a significant amount of water for a minuscule fly. Its bushy body also keeps the fly from plummeting to the bottom and imparts it with a lifelike swimming motion without much forward movement. My Punisher series of flies are the epitome of “guide flies”: quick, simple, and effective!"

"Chewy’s Minnr quite possibly could be one of the best skinny water minnow patterns ever developed. Bold statement, but fish one and you will quickly find out why Umpqua is so excited about this new pattern. See, most minnow patterns have suffered from having dumbbell eyes for weight and to turn the hook up. They protrude and make a splat and are not great for sight casting or snags. Chewy’s Minnr is the ultimate baitfish to cross any saltwater fish with…especially if you need to land it softly. Chewy’s Minnr is a joy to fish and cast and everything eats a minnow!"
