The ultimate everyday workhorse for your fly inventory, the Umpqua UPG Foam Essential Fly Box delivers versatile, high-capacity organization in a ultra-lightweight, slim design. Built with next-generation Power Grip Foam, this essential fly box holds flies securely while keeping your pack light—weighing in at 25% lighter than traditional silicone fly boxes.

Available in two versatile sizes (Mini and Large), the Essential series accommodates flies ranging from tiny size 22 nymphs to fully hackled size 8 dry flies without crushing delicate materials.

Power Grip Foam & Smart Organization Equipped with Umpqua’s proprietary Power Grip Foam, the insert features offset FlyTrap technology that prevents heads and tails from overlapping, maximizing total capacity. Angled entry points allow effortless, quick loading on the water, while integrated deep gutters cushion and preserve fully hackled dry flies so they retain their natural shape trip after trip.

Durable, Low-Profile Shell Protected by a high-impact, low-profile outer shell, the UPG Essential box stands up to heavy streamside abuse. Featuring a magnetic quick-access closure system, you can open, swap, and secure flies with a single hand without fumbling with complex clasps.
