Hopper – Parachute

Hopper – Parachute

The Parachute Hopper is a highly visible and effective terrestrial fly pattern designed to imitate large grasshoppers with exceptional realism and floatation. Featuring a parachute post for superior balance and visibility, this fly rides upright on the water, making it easy to track in fast currents, riffles, and low-light conditions.

Built with lifelike rubber legs and a realistic hopper profile, the Parachute Hopper excels when fished tight to grassy banks, under overhanging structure, and along cutbanks where terrestrials naturally fall into the water. It’s equally effective fished solo or as the lead fly in a dry-dropper setup.

Whether targeting aggressive trout during hopper season or searching pocket water, this pattern delivers reliable strikes and excellent on-water visibility.
