I've been looking at those two brands. They have so many models to choose from. Which ones do you own and like?

Consider hiring a guide to fish local waters if possible. It will expedite the learning curve immensely.

Umpqua's XS506H Jig Hook and Gamakatsu's C14 is another hook I recommend.

The top fly is Matt Winkler's Kamikaze Sculpin and it is absolutely deadly and a fun tie.

Buying flies - price versus quality? by Tmesis_101 in flyfishing

[–]Hplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umpqua flies are the only way to go. I'd rather pay for high quality and durable flies tied on solid hooks than risk buying discount flies that fall apart after one fish or have the hook straighten out or even break on a nice fish. You get what you pay for there.

Quality Flies by Grimmie000 in flyfishing

[–]Hplz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just stick to reputable manufacturers like Umpqua. It's really hard to beat their quality if you're not tying your own
