The Umpqua Copper John Barr's Gold Bead Fly in Chartreuse, Size 16, strikes the perfect balance between subtlety and visibility for picky trout in clear or lightly stained water. The chartreuse wire body gives off just enough flash to draw attention without spooking selective feeders, while the gold bead head ensures quick depth penetration in riffles or deeper pools. This size excels during midseason when fish are targeting medium-sized nymphs, and it performs beautifully as part of a two-fly rig or in tight-line euro setups. With its durable construction and lifelike silhouette, it's a confidence fly that earns its keep year-round.
