Umpqua

Umpqua Feather Merchants is a well-known brand in the sport fishing and outdoor industry, founded in 1972 by Dennis Black. With a vision to offer high-quality flies, bags, leaders, and other fly fishing accessories to anglers worldwide, Umpqua revolutionized the industry by introducing the possibility of manufacturing their products in Asia without compromising quality.

Between the 1950s and 1970s, stores sold only locally tied flies, limiting the availability of larger volumes. This is where Dennis recognized the need for better delivery capabilities and took matters into his own hands. Through his innovative idea, he created a supply chain where both domestic production in the USA and production in Asia collaborated to offer the most sought-after fly fishing products on the market.

With their unique ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, Umpqua has become known as a pioneer in the industry when it comes to the highest quality and precision in the production of its products. Each fly is hand-tied with meticulous precision for optimal performance during all the challenges of a fishing trip.

Umpqua's wide range offers everything from classic flies to innovative bag systems like the ZS2.

Umpqua Feather Merchants has established itself as a market leader in the sport fishing industry thanks to their commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. By offering high-quality fly fishing products of exceptional standard and the ability to tie them both locally in the USA and in Asia, Umpqua guarantees its customers better deliveries than ever before.

With their long history of outstanding products, Umpqua has become synonymous with superior performance among outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, there's no doubt that Umpqua's range will provide you with the gear you need for your adventures by the water – always with the same passion and attention to detail that Dennis Black had when he founded the company in 1972.
