Maximum Midge Storage. Minimum Bulk.
The Umpqua UPG LT Midge Fly Box is the one you grab when you want your flies organized and accessible without adding weight or bulk to your kit. Slim enough to slide in and out of a shirt pocket or wading jacket pocket effortlessly, it's built for the angler who moves fast and fishes light.
We carry both the LT and the HD versions of the UPG Midge box at basin + bend — the LT is our recommendation when packability and pocket carry matter most. At $17.97 — $12 off the $29.99 retail price — it's an easy call.
What Makes the UPG LT Stand Out
- FlyTrap™ High Capacity Storage — TPE Midge inserts with 3D molded high-grip design hold tiny flies securely without crushing delicate hackle
- Slim, tapered profile — slides in and out of a pocket without snagging or bulk
- Magnetic lid closure — opens and closes one-handed, stays shut when you need it to
- See-through lids — spot the fly you need without opening the box streamside
- Variable molded and magnetic storage — handles standard and micro bugs in the same box
LT vs. HD — Which UPG Midge Box Is Right for You?
The LT (Lightweight) is the pick for anglers who prioritize pocket carry, minimal weight, and a streamlined kit. The HD (Heavy Duty) is the call when you need maximum capacity — a swing leaf, more inserts, and Class 3 water resistance for bigger days or longer trips. If you're not sure, the LT handles most tailwater situations beautifully. Need both? We've got you covered.
A Great Fly Fishing Gift Under $20
A quality midge box is one of those things every tailwater angler needs but rarely prioritizes for themselves. At under $20, it's a practical, well-made gift that gets used every time they're on the water.
