A best seller. The classic Bibio has been given the Hopper treatment. Originally inspired by small craneflies blowing onto the lake and 'hopping' from wave to wave, this style has become a modern classic effective as a general representation of may different terrestrial and aquatic insects.

Field Notes

A classic dry fly pattern meant to imitate terrestrial insects and small craneflies on the water’s surface. Fish it on a dead drift or with subtle twitches when trout are keying on naturals during calm conditions or light surface activity.

Pros

  • Effective general terrestrial imitation
  • Simple, proven dry-fly presentation
  • Good for surface-feeding trout

Cons

  • Can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
  • Best when fish are looking up
