Field Notes

Use this as a surface fly when trout are looking up for grasshoppers and other terrestrial insects. It is best on warm days, especially near grassy banks, undercut edges, and calm seams where fish are feeding on the top. Drift it naturally or add subtle twitches to imitate a struggling hopper.

Pros

  • Realistic grasshopper profile
  • Excellent for surface-feeding trout
  • Simple, effective warm-weather presentation

Cons

  • Less effective when trout are not feeding on top
  • Can be wind-sensitive like many dry flies
