Fresh Release: Umpqua UPG LT and HD Fly Boxes

Umpqua Feather Merchants just released their new line of UPG fly boxes. Completely redesigned from the bottom up, these new fly boxes offer versatility and durability that can’t be matched. These new boxes feature TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) inserts which are lighter than silicone, hold their shape longer, more resilient to hot temperatures and provides great grip for flies without damaging the inserts. There are two versions of these boxes, the basic, magnet fastening UPG LT and the more durable, waterproof, latch fastening  UPG HD. Each version has multiple sizes to fit your angling needs, check out some of the new Umpqua UPG fly boxes below!
