Umpqua Rivergrip PS Nipper Black – Precision Fly Fishing Nippers

Meet the Umpqua Rivergrip PS Nipper Black, a streamside tool built for confident, clean cuts. The ergonomic cutout and a subtle thumb bump promote a natural grip, helping you position and snip tippet with steadiness and precision. This is more than a simple nipper—it’s a compact companion built to stay comfortable during long days on the water.
