Conditions

Field Notes

Use this as a surface fly when trout are feeding on grasshoppers or other large terrestrials near grassy banks and undercut edges. It works well with a dead-drift presentation, and the foam body helps it stay afloat even in choppy water or after repeated casts.

Pros

  • Floats well thanks to the foam body
  • Realistic hopper profile for terrestrial feeding
  • Good choice for bank-side presentations

Cons

  • Can be too large or visible in very calm, selective conditions
  • Best when fish are actively looking up
