Upriver Summer Slam Box
When the water warms and trout retreat to the depths, the Upriver Summer Slam comes alive. This curated collection is built for explosive topwater strikes and aggressive warm-water action, featuring hand-tied flies designed to tempt bass, bluegill, crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, and other summer favorites. From foam frog poppers to beetles, ants, damselflies, and even a mouse, every fly is tied to perform when the days are hottest and the fish are hunting.
Whether you're casting to shaded banks, lily pads, weed lines, or quiet ponds, the Upriver Summer Slam gives you everything you need to make the most of long summer evenings and unforgettable surface takes. Hand-tied in small batches with premium materials, these are the flies you'll reach for when it's time to leave the trout behind and chase explosive warm-water action.
What's on the card: Upriver Summer Slam Collection
From Vise to River
Upriver Fly Company started where many great fly-fishing stories begin—along a local river, with a fly rod in hand and a desire to tie something better.
What began as tying flies for our own boxes and a few local guides soon became a relentless pursuit of the craft. We experimented with new patterns, unique color combinations, and innovative materials, always striving to create flies that did more than look good—they had to produce fish.
As word spread, fellow anglers and guides began asking for flies of their own. That's when we realized our passion for tying had grown into something bigger. What started at the vise as a personal challenge had become an opportunity to share proven, fish-catching patterns with anglers who appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and confidence on the water.
What started at the vise for a few local guides is now available to every angler who believes the details matter.
We also curate and tie flies for destination waters, both domestic and abroad. As our travels expand, so will our specially curated collections. We currently offer collections for the following:
Florida (inshore and offshore)
Montana
Colorado
Tasmania
Tahiti
Bahamas
Each collection is custom tailored for your destination waters and targeted species. Please email inquiries to: upriverflycompany@gmail.com
