Field Notes

Use this high-floating hopper dry fly when trout are looking up for larger terrestrial meals, especially along grassy banks, under overhanging vegetation, and during warm-weather surface activity. It works well with a dead-drift presentation or a subtle twitch to imitate a struggling grasshopper.

Pros

  • High-floating profile stays visible on the surface
  • Effective imitation of a terrestrial hopper
  • Good choice for bank-side trout feeding

Cons

  • Best when fish are actively feeding near the surface
  • Can be less effective in heavy wind or rough water
