Got Hoppers?

It’s no secret that trout love hoppers. Late summer is prime time for inducing those crashing surface takes fly fishers love. Hoppers become most vulnerable after they molt into adults and can fly. While they will fly when startled, they don’t fly well. Afternoon breezes, animal movements, agricultural activities and anglers walking along meadow streams, can put them on a bad trajectory over trout infested waters.

Fish them. Put them on the bank. Run them through the middle. Put them down wherever the trout are living. Don’t be afraid to twitch them. Sell them as a living, struggling bug. Hopper fishing is really fun.

You can see the fly and there is no question when they eat it. Just don’t pull the trigger too soon. Got hoppers? If not, get hoppers. We’ve still got a great selection, but they are moving fast.
