Parachute Hopper

Stone Creek™ Parachute Hopper

The Stone Creek™ Parachute Hopper is a highly visible and effective terrestrial dry fly designed to imitate large grasshoppers and other land-based insects that trout aggressively target during summer and early fall. Featuring a highly visible parachute post, realistic hopper profile, and lifelike rubber legs, this pattern delivers exceptional flotation, stability, and fish-attracting movement.

The parachute design helps the fly ride upright and naturally on the water while making it easy for anglers to track in fast currents, riffles, broken water, and low-light conditions. Its realistic silhouette and buoyant construction make it especially effective along grassy banks, under overhanging vegetation, cutbanks, and shoreline structure where hoppers frequently enter the water.

Available in Red, Tan, and Yellow, the Parachute Hopper excels as both a standalone dry fly and as a highly visible dry-dropper fly capable of suspending weighted nymphs beneath it.
