Built for the Tier Who Takes Their Midges Seriously.
If you fish tailwaters, you know the problem: tiny flies, lots of them, and a box that can't keep up. The Umpqua UPG HD Large Magnum Midge Fly Box is built specifically for high-volume midge storage — the kind of capacity and organization that serious tailwater anglers actually need.
We carry this one at basin + bend because it solves a real problem. At $29.97 — $20 off the $49.99 retail price — it's also one of the best-value fly boxes we stock.
What Makes the UPG HD Different
- FlyTrap High Capacity Storage — TPE 3D molded high-grip inserts hold midges and small flies securely without damaging delicate hooks
- Single two-sided magnetic swing leaf — doubles your usable storage in the same footprint, with magnetic closure that stays shut
- Insert configurations: TPE Micro + Magnet (Standard) — optimized for the tiny flies tailwater fishing demands
- See-through lids — find the fly you need without opening every compartment streamside
- Class 3 water resistance — bombproof construction that keeps your flies dry even when you're not
Who This Box Is For
This is the box for the angler who fishes tailwaters like the San Juan, the Bighorn, the Frying Pan, or any river where size 20–26 midges are the difference between a good day and a great one. If you're tired of fumbling through a box that wasn't designed for small flies, the UPG HD is the upgrade you've been putting off.
A Great Gift for the Fly Fisher Who Has Everything
A quality fly box is one of those gifts that every serious angler appreciates but rarely buys for themselves. Pair it with a selection of midges for a complete tailwater gift.
