Leopard Foam Hopper

Leopard Foam Hopper

A lightweight and highly visible terrestrial pattern, the Leopard Foam Hopper features a spotted body and rubber legs that create a realistic, buggy profile trout readily recognize. The foam construction allows this fly to ride high on the water while maintaining a natural presentation that excels during hopper season.

Designed for fishing along grassy banks, seams, and structure, the Leopard Foam Hopper is especially effective when grasshoppers and other terrestrials are being blown into the water. Its subtle profile and lifelike movement make it a dependable choice for both selective and opportunistic trout.

The buoyant foam body also makes this pattern an excellent dry-dropper fly, capable of supporting a nymph while remaining highly visible on the surface.
