Umpqua Egan's Euro Leader

The Umpqua Egan's Euro Leader is designed for every Euro-Nymphing angler, from complete beginners to expert competitors. Developed in collaboration with river champion Lance Egan, this hand-tied leader line-up features cutting-edge materials and proven formulas to elevate your Euro-Nymphing game.

Each leader is crafted with a color-coded, highly visible butt section and proprietary sighter tippet material for maximum performance and visibility. Choose from three configurations tailored to different skill levels and fishing conditions:

Heavy Leader (16lb breaking strain): Featuring a thicker hot orange butt section, this entry-level leader is ideal for beginners. It’s easier to cast, handles windy conditions with ease, and floats on the surface, making it perfect for learning Euro-Nymphing techniques or fishing in challenging weather.

Medium Leader (12lb breaking strain): With a mid-weight hot pink butt section, this versatile, all-around leader is great for intermediate anglers. Balancing technical precision and ease of use, it performs exceptionally in varying conditions and allows for delicate presentations with lighter flies.

Micro Leader (6lb breaking strain): Designed for expert anglers, this ultra-thin leader features a fluorescent green butt section to eliminate sag and ensure maximum strike detection. Perfect for technical waters and competitive fishing, it offers unparalleled sensitivity and control.

Whether you’re stepping into Euro-Nymphing for the first time or competing at the highest levels, the Umpqua Egan's Euro Leader delivers performance, versatility, and reliability for any situation.

Available in multiple breaking strains (see drop down menu).
