Hi-Vis Foam Hopper
Hi-Vis Foam Hopper
This classic hopper pattern gets an uprade with a parachute post for enhanced visibility, making it a top choice for dry dropper rigs. Its foam body floats high, even in fast or broken water and holds up well to repeated strikes. Effective on nearly any river, stream, or stillwater across the country - this pattern is a must-have in every fly box during late Summer and early Fall when hoppers are most active.

Presentation
Often fished alone in a Dry Fly Rig or used as a highly visible lead fly in a Dry Dropper setup, making it easier to track smaller trailing patterns during a hatch.
Commonly fished as the lead fly in a Double Dry setup, paired with a smaller, less visible dry fly as the dropper. Its high visibility makes it an excellent indicator, helping you track subtle takes on the trailing fly.
This dry fly is often fished as the lead fly in a Dry Dropper Emerger rig, paired with a smaller, less visible emerger as the dropper. Its high visibility acts as a strike indicator while keeping the emerger suspended just below the surface - ideal for targeting trout feeding near the top of the water column.
This highly visible dry fly serves as a strike indicator while allowing the nymph to hang higher in the water column - an ideal setup for targeting trout feeding just below the surface.
