Description

RIO's Blade Runner Hopper has a wide platform that makes a beautiful splat when hammering grassy banks. The white poly wing is easy for the angler to see, and the thick, two-tone foam body has plenty of buoyancy to suspend your favorite dropper. *If we are out of stock online call the shop as we may have some in our floor bins. **Please understand our inventory can vary but we'll let you know if we can't fulfill an order and offer substitutions or a refund.

Field Notes

A terrestrial dry fly designed to imitate a hopper and fish well along grassy banks, weed edges, and other shoreline cover. The buoyant foam body is meant to float high and can support a dropper nymph below it for a two-fly setup.

Pros

  • High-floating foam body
  • Easy-to-see white wing
  • Good for dropper rigs

Cons

  • Best suited to surface presentations
  • Can be less subtle in calm, clear water
