From Umpqua:
Umpqua Feather Merchants, a leading name in fly fishing, is excited to launch STRATOS X Nylon Tippet. STRATOS X Nylon Tippet is a gamechanger for dry-fly fishing. Umpqua has worked for years to bring this exciting new tippet to market, and this release perfectly sets up a full season of dry fly excellence. Designed specifically to float longer and higher, STRATOS X is built for unmatched dry fly command.
Crafted with a proprietary, low-density co-polymer, this tippet is 10% less dense than standard nylon, keeping your tippet floating higher on the surface for the best presentation. Featuring a gray camo dye pattern, the tippet breaks down its outline for minimal visibility in the water, giving anglers an advantage when targeting even the most selective fish. Its ultra-soft, supple design allows the fly to drift naturally in micro currents.
This nylon-based multi-polymer excels in abrasion resistance, surpassing many traditional fluorocarbon tippets. With low memory and high tensile strength, STRATOS X is as user-friendly as it is durable, making it an excellent choice for dry-fly anglers.

ABOUT UMPQUA
For over 50 years, Umpqua’s vision has been to give anglers their best day on the water. That promise has driven our innovation in the highest quality flies, leader & tippet, packs & bags, and all of our streamside tools. We strive to make anglers better through our commitment to innovation, education, and our passion for fly fishing.
OUR LEGACY
The idea started back in 1972, to provide the highest quality flies from the country’s best tyers and bring them to your local fly shop to file these unique patterns into your box. Our early soulful beginnings on the N Umpqua River were built with signature patterns from anglers like Dave Whitlock, Lefty Kreh, Randall Kauffman, Larry Dahlberg, Mike Lawson, and others. Now we have grown our Family to include 240 of the most influential tyers of yesterday and today, whose flies push the envelope of creativity and success. We continue to drive innovation and carry that same inspiration from our flies – into hook design, pack innovation, fly storage, and the tools we use riverside or at our desks.
