Umpqua Hooks

[arjxh56]

Hi
I am new to fly tying and just wondered what you thought of the Umpqua hooks?
They are on the Essential fly website if you are wondering where i was looking.

Should i go for these or stay clear?

Thanks..

First, Umpqua, sells no 'junk.' Anything you buy with their label will be 'first class.'

Bye the bye, "Umpqua" is/was an (Oregon) Native American Tribe. The 'fly only' section of the NU (North Fork) will test you as to just 'How good do you really think you are?'

Running joke, and it isn't in truth, is just walk up to the river and toss yourself in and get the first 'dunking of the day' behind you. In the Summer most of us don't even bother with waders, just more to get wet.

i bought some, tied some streamers on them and would recommend them

most likely a less expensive alternative to tiemco (umpqua distributes tiemco hooks)

buy 1 package and try them out

Fred-I know Umpqua is Oregon based as I bought a few things in Washington last year under that brand. What sort of shipping charges do they operate? Wouldn't mind some more of their flexi-ment head cement and thinner.
