Overview

Discover the Umpqua take on the Tiemco TMC 2487 hook size 12, a curved, fine‑wire fly hook designed for shrimp and caddis pupa patterns. The Down Eye helps with line control as you drift through different water depths, while the bronze finish adds a natural tone that performs well in varying light. Packaged as a 25‑hook set, it offers enough options for pattern testing and on‑water adjustments without frequent reordering.

Design and Benefits

This model is purposefully 2X short and 2X wide in the gape, delivering a robust hook reach on larger fish while keeping a slender profile that supports delicate rigs. The fine wire minimizes bulk, helping your patterns ride naturally in the drift, and the bronze color blends with natural undergrowth and sunlit water alike.

The bronze finish offers low‑glare visibility in both bright and shaded water scenarios.
