Addiction in Every Strip
Umpqua Jungle Junkie
Designed to feed the fix of freshwater predators worldwide, the Umpqua Jungle Junkie is an unapologetically flashy streamer that started life chasing perch-hungry pike and muskie. But as all great obsessions do, it grew bolder. Now, from Northwoods lakes to the winding Rio Negro, it has proven irresistible to peacock bass and other heavy-hitters of the jungle.
Created by signature tyer Steve Maldonado, the Jungle Junkie features a flash-heavy tail, layered bucktail and magnum Flashabou, and a laser dub head that provides the illusion of bulk without weight. This means it pushes water, demands attention, and still casts smooth—even after hours of jungle warfare. Whether you’re stripping through lily-lined pike water or probing tannic Amazon flats, this is the streamer your fly box can’t live without.
