THE GRASSHOPPER PATTERN
Dave's Foam Hopper Pattern - the best terrestrial fly pattern ever !
I cant wait for the time of the year when it is that magical hopper month, and the Dave's Hopper is one of the most popular and best terrestrial hopper flies around.
Its the spun deer hair head, and the knotted legs that give this hopper the most natural look.
It is a great feeling watching that big brown move towards your Hopper and slurp it down. Dry fly fishing is the ultimate thrill, and there is no better fly to watch than the hopper - being devoured.
If presented correctly very few trout will let this hopper drift pass their nose without a take, it is like a juicy eye fillet for trout.
When that time of year comes around pull out your hopper fly patterns, start fishing them and let the fun begin.
The Foam Hopper is extremely buoyant and the perfect indicator fly for a dropper.
Trout love 'em!!
